In case you missed it last night, Nail Yakupov won another game for Edmonton. The 2012 first overall selection scored in overtime to beat the Coyotes. It was a power play goal with over a minute remaining.
Yakupov’s fourth in his rookie campaign was met with resistance from vet defenseman Derek Morris. He took exception to the gifted Russian’s goal celebration. It wasn’t like Yakupov went over the top like his Theo Fleury imitation. This time, he only waved his arms following the winner. Apparently, somebody pissed in Morris’ cornflakes.
