Then it was on the TV in the medical room, so I got to see it.“It was pain, but more I was wondering where the blood was coming from.

We could have been better, for sure.”The Oilers opened the scoring in the first period when McDavid fought off a pair of defenders and moved in on a breakaway, beating goalie Darcy Kuemper for his 27th goal of the season.Arizona tied it up just over a minute into the second period as Oesterle beat Edmonton starter Cam Talbot.

The Canadiens are 8-17-1 on the road.”We didn’t find a way to put the puck in the net,” forward Brendan Gallagher said.Varlamov’s play had a lot to do with that problem.
