Noah Philp scored his first NHL goal and Calvin Pickard stopped 14 of 15 shots as the Oilers spoiled Evander Kane's return to Rogers Place.

Two games is a tiny sample size, but the Oilers have started to answer some questions from the beginning of camp.

That third goal will be the one on replay for Oilers fans, as it was truly bizarre. It began with the Flames dumping the puck right to Skinner, who proceeded to hold the puck in front of him, freeze with it, and allow the forechecking Blake Coleman to poke it into the net.

It all came to a close Friday night in Vancouver, when the Oilers fell 3-2 to the Vancouver Canucks in overtime. Jonathan Lekkerimaki was the star for the Canucks, scoring two goals including the first of the game with 9.3 seconds left in the first frame.

The Edmonton Oilers have won their first game of the season. On Saturday evening, the Oilers dominated the Vancouver Canucks, defeating their Pacific Division rival 3-1 to move to 1-0-1 this season.
