The Edmonton Oilers accomplished the bare minimum, securing a winning record on their four-game road trip this past week.

They secured big wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche in the first two games of the trip, dropped a stinker against the Dallas Stars, and watched the St. Louis Blues whittle away and steal an extra point from them on Friday night.

After building a two-goal lead thanks to goals from Kasperi Kapanen and Connor McDavid, the Blues chipped away at it. First, it was Pius Suter scoring with just seven and a half minutes left in the third, then, with just under four minutes to go, Cam Fowler tied the game up and sent it to overtime.

While the Oilers dominated the extra frame, Robert Thomas had the last laugh with nine seconds left in overtime. Now, with the Oilers in the midst of battling for their playoff lives, they have to hope that the missed point doesn’t cost them.

“It’s really a shame,”........
