Last 10 matches: Edmonton 3-4-3; Vancouver 6-4-0.
Vancouver forward Kyle Wellwood, with just two assists in 19 games, notched his first goal of the season on Thursday with an empty-net tally. He had 18 goals and 27 assists last season. Tanner Glass also scored in the victory, but his goal was initially credited to Wellwood.
“I’ve never seen that, a guy get a standing ovation for an open net when he busts his egg,” teammate Tanner Glass said. “Then again, I’ve never been booed at home for scoring, either.” In addition to Hemsky, Oilers forward Marc Pouliot (sports hernia surgery) is out until early January. Left wing Ryan Stone (knee) is doubtful. Taylor Chorney (ankle) is day-to-day. Robert Nilsson (concussion) is questionable. Fernando Pisani (colitis) is out indefinitely. Denis Grebeshkov (knee) could miss another month, while goalie Nikolai Khabibulin is day-to-day. … Canucks forward Rick Rypien is questionable with a lower-body injury. Pavol Demitra (shoulder) has resumed skating but is expected to miss at least another month. Alex Bolduc (shoulder) is skating but likely will not play, while Michael Grabner (ankle) is out 4-6 weeks.
It may be November, but this could be make-or-break time for the Oilers, who begin a six-game road trip on Saturday night. They’re currently tied for 12th place in the Western Conference, five points out of the final playoff spot.
What’s worse, they’ll have to do it without the services of Ales Hemsky. The Oilers said Friday that the top-six forward will undergo surgery on his left shoulder and miss the rest of the season.
”It’s frustrating because it’s a big year for a lot of players,” Hemsky said. ”Especially considering it’s an Olympic year, but there’s nothing I can do. It’s no fun playing with an injury like that. I tried, but it just didn’t work out.”
This is the third of six meetings between the Northwest Division rivals. The teams have split the first two games, with Vancouver taking Round 2 in a 2-0 victory on Oct. 25 at General Motors Place. Highlights, live score and results will be available soon.. stay tuned.
