Oilers' Anton Slepyshev: Breakaway beauty is Game 6 winner

Slepyshev scored the game-winning goal Saturday against the Sharks. The Game 6 victory sent the Oilers onto the second round.

Analysis:

Slepyshev had been held off the scoresheet in the previous four games, but he came through with a sweet breakaway goal Saturday to help propel the Oilers onto the second round. The 22-year-old won't produce crazy totals on the fourth line, but he showed off his shot Saturday and should be a decent depth guy moving forward in the playoffs.
