After a sleepy start, the Edmonton Oilers we're in serious need of a wake-up call, and there's only so much head coach Kris Knoblauch can say to rally the troops.
The Oilers gradually bagan to resemble their former selves after a clutch goal from Vasily Podkolzin, which seemed to boost the team's morale.
Shortly after, the Edmonton Oilers were gifted their first power play of the night, and Leon Draisaitl wasted no time notching his 17th of the year, evening up the score 2-2.

Hopefully, the Edmonton Oilers can keep that momentum going when they take on the Colorado Avalanche tonight.
