Review: Last week saw the Oil Kings play three times, going 1-2-0-0. The Kings took care of business at home home beating Everett 4-1 at Rexall Place on Wednesday night before dropping a pair of road games in Regina and Brandon. Edmonton played well in both games, heavily outshooting the Pats in a 4-1 loss, and going right to the wire in a 3-2 loss against the Wheat Kings.
