For the first time Nov. 9, the have won a hockey game and for the first time all season, they have defeated a Western Conference opponent. The Oilers earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over the  Carl Banks Jersey Sunday night, snapping an 11-game winle s streak."Well getting rid of that losing streak is huge," head coach Dallas Eakins said in his postgame remarks. "It's whatever you want to call it -- monkey off your back, elephant, large gorilla. It feels good for everybody, but most importantly our players and our fans."There wont be any style points, but that will hardly matter to the Edmonton faithful. netted the eventual game-winner Dexter Lawrence Jersey  10:26 into the third period by getting the kind of bounce the Oilers have so rarely gotten. His shot that was going well wide of the net glanced off of defenseman and past Sharks netminder .  This was also the first game since general manager Craig MacTavish held a pre s conference Friday to speak about the team's awful start to the season. Saquon Barkley Jersey  There wasn't much in that speech to motivate the troops, but the visible frustration from the team's GM spoke loudly enough.The Oilers actually won the shot battle, by a 24-21 shots-on-goal mark. Each club finished the  Phil Simms Jersey game with 43 attempts.
