During last night's Oilers-Capitals game, Edmonton managed to score a very bizarre goal with the help of something totally unexpected laying on the ice.
Perry scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals. The box score doesn't tell the whole story in this case. Perry's one-timer of a Leon Draisaitl pass came after the veteran winger skated around a tray of nachos thrown onto the ice by a fan,
Draisaitl scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl scored his 29th goal in the first five minute of a game in a 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals.

A cheesy interruption during the Capitals game in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on Tuesday night almost threatened Washington's win streak, which improved to five straight after a win over the Oilers.
Draisaitl is expected to be a core piece for the Oilers for the foreseeable future. He signed an eight-year, $112 million contract ($14 million average annual value) starting next season and is currently in the final season of an eight-year, $68 million contract ($8.5 million AAV) signed prior to the 2017-2018 season.
Edmonton Oilers forward Corey Perry scored an unusual goal against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. With 15:10 left in the third period, a fan threw a tray of nachos onto the ice near Perry.
Edmonton Oilers forward Corey Perry criticized how the NHL handled Connor McDavid, saying the league doesn’t protect its superstars enough.

Edmonton Oilers have effected a transition that some had foreseen for quite some time. Deeply-respected but aging vet Derek Ryan had already seen his ice time dwindle to single-digit minutes per game.
