WHY THEY LOST
They took too long to find their legs, gave up a needless late second period goal and didn't show any urgency until they fell behind in the third.
PLAY O' GAME
Andrew Cogliano and Dustin Penner break out on a two-on-one rush. Cogliano outwaits a sprawling Ron Hainsey and slides a pass over to Penner, who buries it past Thrashers goaltender Johan Hedberg.
SAVE O' GAME
Oilers goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin is able to get an arm on Todd White's effort from point-blank range during a brief barrage in front of the net.
