Watch: Russell finishes off tic-tac-toe for 1st goal as an Oiler

John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

It took a while, but Kris Russell finally has his first goal as a member of the Edmonton Oilers.

The 29-year-old finished off a pretty tic-tac-toe play with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl late in the third period for his first since signing with the Oilers in October and first since Feb. 11, 2016.

More importantly, the goal held up as the game-winner, extending the Oilers' winning streak in Florida to eight games, while giving the club a two-point cushion on the Anaheim Ducks.
