EDMONTON -- Five out of a possible eight points isn't a bad four game road trip.
It might not be the best road trip - but the Edmonton Oilers ended it well with a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Connor McDavid scored the opening goal of the hockey game, which ended up serving as the game winner.

Calvin Pickard was also spectacular, stopping 41 shots as part of the victory.
But the night became special for a couple of the players after the game. McDavid - along with Leon Draisaitl - had a special guest waiting for them after the game.
The Oilers dynamic duo had the privilege of meeting Jaromir Jagr - who most famously started his career playing for the Penguins.
They posed for a picture after having a brief conversation. There is no recording of their entire conversation, there is a brief clip of McDavid walking into the room with Draisaitl and Jagr already talking.
McDavid walks in and Jagr greets him in one of the most memorable ways, "What an easy night huh? You don't even sweat, you get three points and then go home." McDavid had two assists in addition to his goal.
It's tough to make out what is said during the rest of the clip - and there isn't a video online of Jagr's conversation with Draisaitl before McDavid arrived.
This is a conversation all three men soon won't forget, even if it was brief.
