Bears/Oilers

Chicago Bears 38, Detroit Lions 6

The Bears completely dominated the 2nd quarter on route to an easy win over the Lions 38-6. The Bears racked up 21 points in the second quarter as they jumped out to a 31-6 half time lead. The Bears opened the scoring with an impressive 43 yard TD drive off a Lions turnover. The Lions responded quickly with a 51 yard TD pass, but as a bad omen to the Lions the point after was blocked and those 6 points would be the only points the Lions would get for the rest of the afternoon.
Other notables from the game were the poise of Bears' rookie QB Kyle Orton who was 14 for 21 with 150 yards of passing. Running back Tomas Jones carried the ball 20 times for 139 yards, he had more yards after jus one quarter then the Bears managed the entire game against Washington last week. Over all the Bears had 37 carries for 187 yards.

Dallas Stars 6, Edmonton Oilers 5 (OTSHO)

Edmonton must like the overtime shootout, for the second strait preseason game the Oilers couldn't win it in regulation, but this time there would be no dramatic shootout win as yet again the Stars beat the Oilers. The Stars were out to a 2-0 lead before the first period was even 2 minutes old and added one more at the half way mark to lead 3-0 at the end of one period. Edmonton was out shot 12-7 in the first period.
In the second period the Oilers seemed to find there legs and out shot Dallas 14-6 as Zack Stortini got the Oilers on the board at the 0:52 mark. Raffie Torres and Mark-Antoine Pouloit also scored for Edmonton as the Oilers closed the gap to 4-3 at the end of 2 periods.
Fernando Pisani pulled the Oilers even midway through the third, but Dallas pulled ahead 5-4 less than 20 seconds later. It took a goal from Steve Staios with 45 seconds left to pull the Oilers even again. Shots in the third period were even at 9 a piece.
The Stars and Oilers decided nothing in the overtime period as Dallas out shot Edmonton 3-1.
Dallas scored on the 3rd and final shot as none of Edmonton shooters could score giving Dallas yet another win over Edmonton.
Overall the Oilers out shot Dallas 31-30. Dallas was 0-5 on the powerplay and Edmonton converted just 1 of its 9 powerplay chances. Ty Conklin started the game in nets for Edmonton stopping just 13 of the 17 shots he faced. Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers (thank god I'm not a play by play announcer) stepped in at the 9:31 mark of the second and stopped 12 of the 13 shots fired at him.
