While the Edmonton Oilers tumbled down the staircase in the third period of last night's game, the Oklahoma City Barons climbed the ladder back to the good graces of playoff contention. After three straight shootout appearances, the Oklahoma City Barons would again take a team deep into OT and the shootout. The skills competition has been relentless and unforgiving for the Barons who seemingly lack the creative arc to "get it done." That was nearly the case on Wednesday night, but the home team would emerge with two points, and a much needed bump in the standings.
Before we get to the Jujhar & Greggy things of the evening, let us briefly pause to talk nuts and bolts. The lineup was bound to be shaken up just a bit with the continued absence of Arcobello and Horak. Add to that list Kessy and Hamilton whom are both injured, as well as Acton and Pinizzotto who've landed with the big squad in the NHL. Earlier in the day we knew that Jujhar Khaira and Greg Chase would make their debut within the organization that drafted them, and that was big news. We later learned that the other newcomers, Holmberg and Winquist, would sit at least this game. The same goes for defensive signees Oesterle and Craig.
