| Edmonton, AB (Sportsbooks) - Dustin Penner's tip-in with 5.4 seconds remaining in regulation gave the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 season-opening win over the Colorado Avalanche at Rexall Place. Penner gave Edmonton the lead early in the third in a two-goal performance while Shawn Horcoff notched a first period power-play tally for the Oilers, who got stellar goaltending from Mathieu Garon.

Two springs ago, the Oilers snuck into the playoffs in the final week, became the first No. 8 seed to topple a No. 1 in the Western Conference tournament and rode an unlikely burst of momentum all the way to a Game 7 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Finals. Within a month, however, standout Chris Pronger was off to Anaheim via requested trade and a bevy of free agents soon followed the big defenseman to the exit |

So, in the long run it wasn't worth the effort to try and develop a rivalry between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Edmonton Oilers, because if one is to emerge, it will happen more quickly when the teams eventually meet in the playoffs. The Oilers are also a good example of a team that had its battles with a familiar playoff opponent effectively end because of the unbalanced sc |
