Michael Ryder is as streaky a goal scorer as there is, and of late he just cannot put the puck in the net. Against the Oilers Friday night, his drought hit 12 games, but he worked his tail off putting a team-best five shots on net and he also hit a crossbar. Finally, Ryder was rewarded in overtime, although not with a goal. When Adam Henrique did some great work along the boards to get the puck free, it went to Ryder, who whipped a backhand pass across the ice to set up Jon Merrill's game-winner. The point was Ryder's first in nine games. Maybe this ended his long string of bad luck.
