It couldn't have been scripted any better.
Tied 5-5 late in the third period, Oilers alumni Craig Simpson tripped Teemu Selanne, sending the beloved Jet to center ice for his second penalty shot of the game.
Of course, Selanne buried it, firing a quick wrister past Curtis Joseph.
The Finnish Flash racked up two goals and three assists in the win.
