James Neal Scores Again In Sunday's Loss
5 years agoEdmonton Oilers forward James Neal buried his 10th goal of the season in his team's 6-2 defeat of the Florida Panthers on Sunday. Despite finishing his night with a minus-two rating, the 32-year-old also registered four shots on goal and two hits in 16:37 of ice time in the contest. Acquired via trade in exchange for winger Milan Lucic this past summer, Neal is off to a tremendous start in his new uniform as he now sits second in the NHL in goals (10) and ranks first in power-play goals (7) through 12 games. Playing in the Oilers' top-six forward group and top power-play unit, the Ontario native is proving to be one of the biggest late-round steals of fantasy drafts thus far. He'll look to light the lamp again in his next game against the Red Wings on Tuesday.
