Just when you thought the season couldn’t get worse for the Edmonton Oilers’ goalies. On Monday night, both of the Oilers' netminders dealt with difficult blows in Edmonton 5-2 loss to the red-hot New Jersey Devils. If Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft had any ideas of pulling Skinner after his massive blunder, it would not have been possible after an unfortunate accident rendered backup Jack Campbell unable to play. The goalie was sitting on the team’s bench in the first period when he was inadvertently hit by a stray puck. Campbell was clipped above the eye and was forced to head to the trainer’s room with a towel covering his face.
Campbell did not return for the second period and was still missing when the third period got underway in at Prudential Center. Starting goalie Stuart Skinner gave the Devils a 2-1 lead when he completely whiffed on a pass, allowing Devils forward Nico Hischier to set up teammate Dawson Mercer for an easy goal. The 24-year-old has been rock solid this season, sporting a 2.52 goals against average and .930 save percentage in nine games. The Oilers and their fans will hope this night of bad luck won't hurt his confidence. The Devils, meanwhile, are taking the NHL by storm at the moment, tying a franchise record with their 13th consecutive win on Monday night.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
