Viktor Arvidsson, one of the newest members of the Oilers squad got his number called in the third round of the shootout, where he gave fans a dazzling look into his offensive capabilities.
In an epic move, Arvidsson swooped in on net, showcasing some impressive dangling and puck handling skills, pulling the puck to his backhand, and slipping it past the Canucks net minder to win the game for the Oilers.
His line mate, Leon Draisaitl, also scored an absolute rocket in the shootout, ripping a slapshot upstairs.
As per the Edmonton Journal, The Edmonton Oilers dressed their complete second and third lines and threw Connor McDavid into the mix for good measure Monday and still couldn't separate themselves from the nondescript training campers Vancouver brought to Rogers Place.
Although the Oilers second line looked somewhat disjointed, their chemistry will undoubtedly come with some more trial and error.
