It also said a record in Oilers history which those three goals were the quickest three goals let in ever in the history of their franchise.

Egor Chinakhov continues to display wicked shot following trade from CBJ
Chinakhov continues his amazing play as he scored his fifth goal in just 12 games with this Penguins club following the trade from Columbus.
