Oiler injured and busted open early. (VIDEO)

The Oilers did not get off to the start they were hoping for tonight, losing former 1st overall pick Nail Yakupov early in the first period. Yakupov was injured when he collided with New Jersey Devil's forward Steve Bernier. It was a strange play that saw Yakupov run into Bernier at center ice, Yakupov immediately went down to the ice. It appeared when contact was made that Yakupov's chin collided with Bernier's shoulder, and when Yakupov got up off the iceyou could clearly see blood coming from the Edmoton forward.
