Ennis pushes Oilers past Senators

Former Senator, and Medicine Hat Tiger, Tyler Ennis scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and goaltender Mike Smith won in his season debut as the Edmonton Oilers earned a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Ottawa on Monday.

Ennis, after a nifty toe-drag to wait out a sliding defenceman, beat Matt Murray with a low shot on a 2-on-1 for his first of the season after Ottawa was caught on a line change at 6:09.
