Edmonton, AB (Sports Network) - Ales Hemsky scored one of four power-play
goals as the Edmonton Oilers rolled to a 4-1 win at Rexall Place over a
Colorado Avalanche team that played without its captain.
Jordan Eberle, Shawn Horcoff and 2012 No. 1 overall pick Nail Yakupov also lit
the lamp for the Oilers, who entered the game having not led at any point this
season. Devan Dubnyk stopped 37 Colorado shots, including a whopping 23 in the
third period.
PA Parenteau scored the lone goal for the Avalanche, who have been outscored
12-3 in dropping all three road games this season. Semyon Varlamov made 23
saves.
Gabriel Landeskog missed the first game of his career Monday due to head and
leg injuries. The reigning Calder Trophy winner was hurt Saturday when he
absorbed a check by Sharks defenseman Brad Stuart in Colorado's 4-0 setback at
San Jose.
