Trailing 2-0 after a sloppy first period to the Mammoth, who came into the contest as one of the hottest teams in the league with a seven-game winning streak, the Oilers finally seemed to snap out of their season-starting stupor and looked more like the team that has advanced to the Stanley Cup final the last two campaigns.

鈥淲e kind of needed a bit of a wake-up in-between the first and second,鈥� said veteran Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. 鈥淚 thought we responded well and kept it going from there. Obviously that first period, we have much more than that. It was good to see us respond.

鈥淲e gave ourselves a little kick in the butt and went from there.鈥�

Edmonton head coach Kris Knoblauch said the first period left a lot to be desired.

鈥淲e turned the puck over on line rushes, I counted them, 16 times,鈥� he said. 鈥淵ou should be looking at two or three a period. We turned it over 16 times on the attack, which didn鈥檛 allow us to get any offensive zone time or to pressure them. It was really easy for them and we have to defend instead. It got much better in the next two periods. Guys went to work and it got better.

鈥淲e have to work. We can鈥檛 just show up and think our skill is going to take over and win us hockey games.鈥�

Leon Draisaitl and Mattias Ekholm each had a goal and an assist, while Isaac Howard and Ty Emberson also scored for the Oilers (5-4-2) who snapped a two-game losing skid.

Ekholm is hopeful that the second-period surge serves as an early-season turning point.

鈥淚 think everybody felt enough was enough,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 can go to myself, I haven鈥檛 liked my game at all the last five-six games. I don鈥檛 think many guys in here have. It was kind of coming to a point where OK, we need to start putting our work boots on. And kudos to us, we responded in that second period.聽

"More important we found our game and that has to be the standard going forward. Everybody in this league is too good where you can just coast your way through a regular season. You have to put your work boots on. That鈥檚 number one and I think everybody realized that today.鈥�

Poor starts to the season seem to be a hallmark of sorts for the Oilers.

鈥淚f you look back at it, since I鈥檝e been here this has been the best start we鈥檝e ever had,鈥� said Ekholm, in his third full season with Edmonton. 鈥淚n that sense, great. Obviously, we want to start better. I don鈥檛 know that recipe I guess, because I鈥檝e been here three tries and none has worked. As long as we get into the playoffs, I am happy. But obviously yes, we want to have a better start.鈥�

Jake Walman and Adam Henrique each picked up a pair of assists and Stuart Skinner registered 20 saves to collect the win in net for the Oilers.
