Oil play a tough road division game, and steal two points from the LA Kings in the Staples Center. The top line of Vinny, Hossa and Morozov did the damage tonight as the trio combined for three goals. A very entertaining third period-produced thirty-two shots combined – eighteen of them fired at Brodeur. Who once again seems to give a little, but gets it done after sixty minutes.
Joel Andresen product of the Victoria Salmon Kings of the ECHL continues to impress Oil scouts. Joel has a huge frame at 6'4" and uses it in a physical style of defense. He can add some points in the right situations, but mainly plays with a physical edge who will drop the gloves at times. Joel played seven minutes again tonight due to the injury to Brian Leetch and contributed with one shot and a +2 for the day.
Tomorrow night the Oil continue the road trip to include a trip to Boston and a game with the Bruins, then we head back to home to host the Islanders Wednesday night for our fourth game in as many nights.
