EDMONTON, AB - The Edmonton Oilers returned to Rogers Place for practice on Tuesday morning after legging out the logistics of a four-game Eastern Conference road trip that ended with a .500 record (2-2-0).
The players and coaches enjoyed a day off on Sunday in the Sunshine State following their 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers in the final game of four games in six days that included a lot of late flights and late arrivals to their destinations around the eastern seaboard of the United States.
"It was a tough one," defenceman Cody Ceci said. "A lot of late nights back-to-back in there and just a lot of games in a short period of time, but it was nice to stay a night in the nice weather and get together as a team."
"We did a little bit of team-building," captain Connor McDavid added. "A little bit of rest, and it's always nice to have a couple of days off during the season."
