SCOTTSDALE, AZ -Markus Granlund is feeling it.
'It' is that special sense of personal belief and confidence that comes from scoring.
After opening the season with no goals in his first 17 outings, the Oilers winger has found the back of the net three times on Edmonton's current five-game road trip.
Granlund got the ball rolling for the Oilers in the first tilt of the trip, depositing a perfect Oscar Klefbom pass against the San Jose Sharks in what finished as a 5-2 victory.
Since then, the Finn has scored twice more during the Orange & Blue's extended getaway, tucking home a backhander in the club's 4-2 win over Vegas then tallying a clutch equalizer with under 10 minutes to play in a comeback 4-3 shootout W against the Arizona Coyotes.
