| Edmonton, AB (MySportsbook) - Dustin Penner's tip-in with 5.4 seconds remaining in regulation gave the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 season-opening win over the Colorado Avalanche at Rexall Place. Penner gave Edmonton the lead early in the third in a two-goal performance while Shawn Horcoff notched a first period power-play tally for the Oilers, who got stellar goaltending from Mathieu Garon. The netminder was brilliant in stopping all but two of Colorado's 33 shots. Joe Sakic lit the lamp in the second and Milan Hejd |

| (MySportsbook) - The last team to start the 2008-09 season, the Edmonton Oilers finally get things going tonight, as they begin their 30th season with a home test against the Colorado Avalanche at Rexall Place. Perhaps the schedule makers thought a few extra days would be beneficial for the Oilers, who saw veterans Shawn Horcoff, Sheldon Souray, captain Ethan Moreau and Fernando Pisani all miss significant time last year due to injury. However, with so many vets sidelined, Edmonton's young flyers emerged on to |

| Denver, CO (MySportsbook) - David Krejci's even-strength marker late in the third period proved to be the game-winner, as the Boston Bruins kicked off the 2008-09 campaign with a 5-4 victory over the Colorado Avalanche at the Pepsi Center. Marc Savard registered a goal and an assist for Boston, which proved many prognosticators wrong last season by securing the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference -- its first postseason appearance since 2004 -- and pushing the top-seeded Montreal Canadiens to a decisi |

| (MySportsbook) - The Colorado Avalanche are no longer the dominating club they were in the late 1990s and early part of this decade, but they still have captain Joe Sakic to remind them of the good old days. Sakic, now 39 years old, opted to return for his 20th and, perhaps, final NHL season, signing a one-year, $6 million deal. The Burnaby, British Columbia native is a two-time Stanley Cup winner, a former league MVP and, with 1,363 points, is also the eighth-leading scorer in NHL history. So, is Sakic back f |
