Edmonton Oilers 2 Winnipeg Jets 1 – The game ended a stretch of six games in 10 days for the Jets who will now get a couple of days off before closing out the pre-season schedule with a back-to-back series with the Boston Bruins. Games will be Thursday at MTS Centre (TSN, TSN 1290), and Friday in Saskatoon (TSN 1290). Special teams were the story in Edmonton. They did not decide the outcome, but very much disrupted any flow the teams tried to create. At the end of the night each team was zero for seven on the power play, or if you prefer a perfect seven for seven on the penalty kill. Chris Thorburn in his first pre-season game gave the Jets a 1-0 lead late in the first, a sharp angle shot that went off the blocker of Devan Dubnyk and in. Second period goals by Jesse Joensuu and Will Acton gave the Oilers the lead and despite the Jets outshooting the Oilers 12-4 in the third, Dubnyk made a number of very good saves to preserve the win for Edmonton. Eddie Pasquale put in another solid performance for Winnipeg, stopping 21 of 23 shots. The Jets have to be very pleased with Pasquale, both in this game and the game he played in Belleville against Washington on Sept. 14. Adam Lowry and Andrew Gordon were both healthy enough to get into their first pre-season action, and for big Lowry it was his first-ever NHL game. He was physical and drew praise from head coach Claude Noel. "He was really good for a guy that hasnt played at this level. He was strong on the puck, strong on his feet." Lowry led all players in the hit department with seven. As for the game, Noel offered that there was "a lot of special team play. Penalty kill was good, but no puck movement on the power play. We need to get more regulars in the lineup the last two games, but at the same time make sure our guys are healthy for the start of the season." Zach Bogosian played over 21 minutes but missed some shifts for what Noel termed "precautionary" reasons. Evander Kane and Olli Jokinen each had six shots on goal while Kane also had five hits. The Jets are now 1-3-2 in the pre-season with the two games against Boston yet to come.

Joe Thornton made the most of a rare opportunity. Thornton scored his first shootout goal since 2007 and the Sharks beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 Wednesday night to extend the home-team dominance in this California rivalry. "Coach doesnt tend to look my way in a shootout, but it was nice to be involved in one," Thornton said. Thornton hadnt been used in a shootout since McLellan sent him out in the seventh round of an 11-round tiebreaker on Dec. 11, 2009, against Dallas. He hadnt scored in one since two years before that on Dec. 16, 2007, against Anaheim. But McLellan saw that his players had success trying to deke Ben Scrivens as opposed to shooting the puck past him, so he gave Thornton a chance. He skated in and stuffed a backhand past Scrivens for what proved to be the game-winner. "Obviously Jumbos not a big shooter, but he can move his hands pretty well, and he ends up coming up with the win," McLellan said. Antti Niemi then stopped Tyler Toffoli to seal it. Niemi made 38 saves as San Jose opened a difficult stretch of three games in four days against top-five teams. Thornton and Joe Pavelski scored in regulation for the Sharks, who have won nine straight at home against the Kings including the post-season. In all, the home team has won the last 14 matchups, including all seven in last springs playoff series won by Los Angeles. "Its kind of the same way theyve beaten us in their rink -- by one goal, comeback, or however it works out," Pavelski said. "We know we can play with them. We had our chances to win there. They are probably saying the same thing here. Weve got to find ways to win in their building as well, but this was a good win for us tonight." Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty scored for the Kings, who tied a franchise record by earning a point in their 11th straight game. They also did that in 1973-74 and 2010-11. Scrivens made 38 saves. "It was fun, though we came out at the wrong end of it," Scrivens said. "They have some skill guys. Its a learning experience." The game was played with the high intensity expected from ttwo fierce rivals with a recent playoff history who are at the top of their games.dddddddddddd These teams have met twice in the past three postseasons, with each winning once, including Los Angeles triumph in the second round last spring. Each benefited from a fluky goal, with San Jose taking a 2-1 lead late in the second period when Thornton took the puck from Willie Mitchell behind the net and then Scrivens kicked in a loose puck. The Kings got the fortunate bounce early in the third to tie the game when Doughtys centring pass hit defenceman Scott Hannans skate and deflected past Niemi for the equalizer. Los Angeles then killed off three successive minor penalties in a span of less than 7 minutes to preserve the tie and set the stage for shootout. "It was pretty intense," Kings centre Anze Kopitar said. "We got off to a good start and I thought we played well in the second period and were down, 2-1. We got it back and went deep into the shootout." The Kings jumped on top early when Dwight King knocked down Tomas Hertl on the opening shift and played a pass off the end boards to Carter, who banged it past Niemi just 18 seconds into the game. Niemi prevented Los Angeles from adding to that lead when he stopped Mike Richards backhand attempt on a 2-on-0 break after Richards stole the puck from Dan Boyle. The Sharks then dominated the second half of the period, but Scrivens stopped all 18 shots in the first to preserve a 1-0 lead. Pavelski tied it early in the second when he got to a loose puck in the slot and lifted it over Scrivens for his ninth of the season. Los Angeles failed to capitalize on a 4-minute power play when Boyle was called for high-sticking Justin Williams. Despite near constant pressure, Niemi stopped all six shots during the double minor to the delight of a sellout crowd that chanted "Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.!" throughout the night. NOTES: The Kings went 0 for 4 on the power play and have converted just three of their last 35 chances. ... Thornton moved into sole possession of 50th place on the career points list with 1,143. ...
