They don't ask how, they ask how many. In the case of the Edmonton Oilers, they might have just won their ugliest match of the year so far, but they'll take it. Following their disappointing 5-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Edmonton Oilers looked to bounce-back against the abysmal Chicago Blackhawks.
The boys found themselves down 2-0 early on, sparking some concern amongst fans.
The team could not afford another momentum killing defeat, and a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks would have been humiliating.
With timely goals from Vasily Podkolzin, Adam Henrique, Corey Perry, and Zach Hyman, the team managed to claw their way back from a 3-1 deficit -- ending out the Blackhawks by a score of 4-3.
Leon Draisaitl comments on the ugly win
«Pretty good, honestly. Even the last two periods against Pittsburgh,» said league-leading goal scorer Leon Draisaitl, who pushed his total to 31 on the season after adding three more on the trip. «Had the puck a lot, created a lot of looks. That game can go either direction too, probably.
«Played a couple bad periods that really hit us. So, all in all a good road trip.»

Kris Knoblauch comments on the Oilers tough schedule ahead
«I think looking at our schedule, how difficult our next five or six games are, it's about as tough a schedule throughout the regular season,» Knoblauch said. «Not only playing good teams but being away from Rogers for quite a bit.
«So, it feels a lot nicer getting the win tonight so we can head out and have those tough matchups.»
