EDMONTON, AB -Tomas Jurco is making the most of Oilers Main Camp.
The forward had himself a three-point night in the Oilers 5-3 win over the Jets on Thursday when he slotted in on the top line with Connor McDavid and James Neal, netting two goals and one assist.
The Slovak reaped the reward of a Jets turnover for his first, depositing Neal's net-front pass behind a sprawled-out Connor Hellebuyck.
In the second period on the power play, Jurco lost the handle of the puck on the goal-line but Neal was able to shift it over to McDavid on the wing for an easy tap-in.
Then in the third on the man advantage once again, Jurco accepted a pass from Leon Draisaitl and did the rest of the work, cutting to the net from outside and beating Hellebuyck under his arm.
