Quick earns shutout, Kings capitalize on long power play to blank Oilers
EDMONTON — Patrick Maroon’s major penalty late in the second period proved to be a costly one for the Edmonton Oilers.
The Oilers forward hit Kings defenceman Drew Doughty in the head and Los Angeles scored three times on the ensuing power play for a 5-0 victory over the Oilers on Tuesday night.
“When stuff like that happens, your team just comes together, scoring three goals on the power play to really shove it up their butts was awesome,” said Doughty, who left the game but was able to return early in the third period.
“I’m feeling all right now. I didn’t see it at all. He got me right in the head. I didn’t have the puck, that’s why I was so shocked by it. But I’ve known Maroon for a long time, he’s just trying to finish a hit. I don’t know that he meant to try and hurt me. I forgive him.”
