However cheap nhl hockey jerseys, the Oilers had the best chance of the opening period as Hall made a nice backhand feed from behind the net to Ales Hemsky, but Bryzgalov came across his crease quickly to make the stop.

The Oilers were awarded a penalty shot with just under three minutes to play as Kimmo Timonen hauled down Shawn Horcoff on a short-handed breakaway.

The Flyers had 14 shots on Dubnyk to Edmonton’s nine on Bryzgalov in the first.

“I don’t really know what happened to him. But it wasn’t my intent to injure.”

Horcoff was stopped on the opportunity.

“I was just finishing my check,” Hartnell said. “It was the end of a long shift and part of my game is being physical. Hopefully he is all right.

“The boys really played hard tonight sidney crosby jerseys,” said Oilers associate coach Ralph Krueger, who is serving as head coach while Tom Renney recovers from a concussion.

Notes: It was the only meeting between the two teams this season. … Oilers coach Tom Renney missed his fifth game with a concussion after taking a puck in the head in practice. He may return for Saturday’s game against Phoenix. … Associate coach Ralph Krueger has been guiding the team in his absence. … The Oilers were still without rookie sensation Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, but he has started practicing with contact and could return from a shoulder injury as soon as Saturday. … Besides the long-term injuries to forward Tom Sestito (groin) and defenseman Chris Pronger pittsburgh penguins jerseys, the Flyers fielded a healthy team. … Both teams have been strong on the power play this season as the Oilers came into the game fourth and the Flyers are fifth in the league. … Flyers forward Jaromir Jagr needs one point to move into eighth place in NHL scoring. He is tied with Joe Sakic with 1,641 points.

The highlight of the scoreless first period was a marathon fight between the Oilers’ Darcy Hordichuk and Philadelphia’s Jody Shelley eight minutes into the game.

The Flyers came close to getting on the board five minutes into the third as a Jakub Voracek shot got past Dubnyk, but was fished to safety by Oilers defender Tom Gilbert before it crossed the goal line.


It was the 27th goal and 60th point this season for the second-year forward.

“The defensive effort was fantastic, to keep the best offensive team in the league down to 13 five-on-five chances.”

Late in the period carey price jerseys, Hartnell was given a kneeing penalty after taking a run at Magnus Paajarvi who had to be helped off the ice with what looked like a knee injury.
