Don’t want to watch the election results come in?

Watch hockey instead.

The Penguins want points, because the New York Rangers look good early on this year. Fortunately, Sidney Crosby is already back on the ice, and has been getting points of his own, putting together point streaks already. Meanwhile, the Oilers also look good this year, with a great record both at home and away. This also represents the second game in a row that the Oilers play an Eastern Conference team, after a Red Wings match on Sunday.
