Its not like were getting blown out every game like last year, said Scrivens, who is 0-6-5 with a 3.30 goals-against average on the road.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins assisted on both as the Oilers outshot Tampa Bay 32-19, including 14-9 over the final 20 minutes.

Aaron Ekblad and Aleksander Barkov scored for Florida, which opened a five-game homestand. The boys fought hard tonight, (I) just need to be better to give them a chance, Luongo said after stopping 25 of 28 shots.
