We got the win, we got the two points. Thats something we werent doing last year. We have a little bit of a streak going here.Eberles goals were his first two of the season.Its definitely nice to get the monkey off my back, he said. It seems like its the same every year, you get one and I feel good and I start playing my game again.Its funny how it works, you get one and the net turns into a soccer net.Joensuu said he feels the current Oilers group has a bit more composure this year.Last year we had some frustrating losses in games like this, he said. This time it was a good frustration in some of the guys. We knew we had the tools to win the game, we have the skill in this room. We said lets go out and do it instead of talking about it.Riley Nash, Jeff Skinner and Jay Harrison responded for the Hurricanes, the only team in the NHL yet to record a win.

It is the only way.There was almost an early start to the scoring as Hurricane Jay McClement hit a post behind Oilers starter Ben Scrivens in the opening minute.Carolina had 15 shots on Scrivens in a scoreless first period, while the Oilers put 10 on Anton Khudobin in the Hurricanes net.Edmonton finally scored the first goal of the game midway through the second period as Eberle picked off Harrisons clearing pass and went in on a two-on-one, dishing it off to Taylor Hall before getting it back and scoring his first goal of the season.Carolina tied thee game up with five minutes left in the middle frame as Nash tipped a Justin Faulk point shot past Scrivens to make it 1-1.

To make this happen with this team is even more special.Draisaitl, the third overall pick in the 2014 Entry Draft, was playing his eighth game with one more to go before the Oilers need to decide whether to keep him for the entire season or send him down to junior with Prince Albert of the Western Hockey League.It was good that he (Draisaitl) stayed with the puck, he had the chance and then to get the goal, that was a big burden off his back, said Oilers coach Dallas Eakins. I dont know if hes ever in his life gone that long with only a point or two. Its not mandatory for him to get points every night, but it wears on a kid like that when he doesnt.The Oilers added some insurance with four minutes left as Hall raced to negate an icing and then crowded the front of the net, allowing Nugent-Hopkins to score his third goal in as many games.Hendricks sealed the deal with an empty-net goal.We need a win, sooner rather than later, said Hurricanes head coach Bill Peters.
