The story of the night, the Men of the Hour, the heroes of Oil Country? Mike Smith and the Grinders. Smith played a great game in net, fourth line ace Tyler Ennis scored a glorious and timely goal, and his linemates Josh Archibald and Jujhar Khaira hustled, hit and battled, as the Oilers beat the Ottawa Senators 3-1 on Monday night. Edmonton's defensive effort will warm the heart of the team's coaches, as the Oilers thwarted the Sens at every turn, especially as the game went on. Edmonton's third period checking and defending was outstanding. Bruce McCurdy and David Staples of the Cult of Hockey dig in. By the Faithful and for the Faithful.
