4-1 was the final score - which saw the Oilers get goals from Connor McDavid, Adam Henrique, Evan Bouchard and Cody Ceci. Ceci's goal was the final nail in the coffin, the empty netter to seal the deal.
The Oilers had a few different lines this morning - in preparation for tomorrow afternoon's tilt against the Anaheim Ducks.
Sam Carrick was skating on the fourth line. The only other major change was Troy Stecher skating alongside Darnell Nurse.
After practice Kris Knoblauch confirmed that Ceci was at home sick. He also mentioned that he would be a game time decision for tomorrow's game. In the few games the Oilers have played with Stecher, he's been more than capable of handling his own.
Another game of getting more used to his teammates and the systems that the coaching staff employs can only benefit the team as they march toward the playoffs.
