Video: Klefbom scores first Oilers playoff goal -- since 2006

Oscar Klefbom beats Martin Jones after a slick assist from Jordan Eberle early in the first period to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead over the Sharks.

It had been a while.

Oscar Klefbom opened the scoring for Edmonton in Game 1 versus the San Jose Sharks, giving the Oilers -- and their fans -- their first playoff goal since 2006.

The last Oilers player to score a post-season goal? That would be Fernando Pisani in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, which the Oilers lost to the Hurricanes 3-1.

Klefbom changed that, as his pass in front deflected in off a San Jose defender and through the legs of Martin Jones.

The Oilers went into the intermission with a 2-0 lead after a power play goal from Milan Lucic.
