EDMONTON, AB - The line of Alex Chiasson, Jujhar Khaira and James Neal for the Oilers has utilized a simple, physical approach over the last three games that's yielded results.
The deployment of their physical, hungry and vocal game has led to the trio earning opportunities in the right areas and recording seven points in the four games since the line's assembly on March 3 when Neal made his return to the lineup from an ankle injury.
"All three of us aren't afraid to go on the forecheck and get our hands dirty in the corners," Khaira said from the Oilers Hall of Fame Room on Tuesday. "I think all three of us are able to make plays. The three games I've played with those two have been a lot of fun.
"I feel like there's always support around me and we're always talking. I think communication makes a huge difference, so that's one of the big things so far."
