Showed some life.
The Final:
Oilers 3, Senators 2
How It Happened:
The Senators grabbed an immediate lead on Evgenii Dadonov’s first-minute goal, but the Oilers scored their second a little ways into the second period and pulled away.
Any Fights?
Yeah, after Jujhar Khaira upended Josh Norris, Erik Gudbranson chased him down and beat him up, which got Gudbranson a ten-minute misconduct penalty. Impressive. Message sent.

Senators Thoughts:
Second game of a back-to-back, on the road, against a team that whooped ‘em all the other times so far this year. One-goal game’s impressive in that context.
