You would never know Nail Yakupov has been out of the lineup for nearly two months judging by the speed he showcased Thursday.
The 22-year-old returned to the Edmonton Oilers' lineup after missing 22 games with a sprained ankle and was flying. He scored the lone goal in his team's 2-1 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks.
