Edmonton Oilers News (September 17th 2011) "Scrimmages continue"
Starting netminder Khabibulin's team RED lost a close game to team GREEN who had backup Hiller between the pipes. The 2-1 win was orchestrated chiefly by Dustin Penner who scored both goals, but also by a supporting cast of Laich, Brule and a masterful Ladislav Smid. Jon Merrill added a power play goal for RED, assisted by Gingras and Axelsson, but it was not enough to come back.
Team WHITE drew team BLUE 3-3 in an entertaining game where special teams were truly special. All team WHITE's goals were SH's, while all BLUE's were power play markers. Cogliano started the party by beating Roy glove side, before Hemsky's duce and Visnovsky's point bomb put WHITE behind by two goals. Lee Falardeau and Greg Moore, veteran checkers, levelled the game during a single penalty kill late on. Late arrival trial netminder Daren Machesney did fairly well during his time in net, stopping 6/6 shots.
Team WHITE's Jordan Eberle was injured during the scrimmage and is expected to be out for at least two weeks, which effectively ends his participation during the camp. On a more positive note, Edmonton's coaches noted on the improvement made by centreman Anton Krysanov, who arrived in a trade last season. Krysanov has yet to appear in a pre-season game, but is expected to dress for the next matchup at Rexall Place.
