CALGARY -- Ryan Smyth didnt need a stick to score the goal that mattered to Edmonton. cheap jerseys china . The Oilers used a 27-save save shutout by Devan Dubnyk and a pair of goals by Smyth to beat the Calgary Flames 2-0 on Friday. Smyth, who also scored into an empty net with six seconds left, had a fortunate bounce to open the scoring in the first period. With Smyth stationed at the top of the goal crease, Ales Hemsky fired puck from the corner that hit Smyth in the chest and bounced past Calgarys Reto Berra. There was a lengthy video review but the goal was upheld. "When you get a goal like that, light the light and keep them at zero," said Dubnyk. "We did a good job, especially toward the end of game when they were pushing to get one, we didnt give them much." It was Smyths first goals in 14 games. "Smitty battled throughout the game tonight, I thought he was really working," said Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins. Less than three minutes before Smyths goal, it appeared Calgary had taken the first lead when Mark Giordano fired a shot through the pads of Dubnyk. However, as the Flames celebrated the goal, the cheers from the sell-out crowd of 19,289 quickly turned to boos when the goal was being waved off for incident contact with the goalie by Flames six-foot-five centre Joe Colborne. "Its a great call," said Dubnyk. "I know, obviously being here, nobody likes it, but it would have been an easy one for him to let go because it wasnt too noticeable, but he comes through the crease and spins me sideways on the original play. "If he hadnt of done that, then I wouldnt have been sprawling and stretching, and it wouldnt have gone under my arm." Colborne didnt see the play unfold in quite the same way. "To tell you the truth, I didnt even notice touching the goalie. I thought Gio made a really nice fake and because Dubynk was screened, he bit on it then needed to reset himself so he was kind of scrambling and Gio got off a good shot," Colborne said. "To get that first goal of the game was pretty big and were coming back to celebrate with the rest of our team and then you see them waving it off. Its frustrating but regardless, you have to score more than one goal usually anyway so even if that one counted, we still have to go out and play the rest of the game." Dubnyk recorded his second shutout of the season and eighth of his career. "Its always fun to play here," said Dubnyk, who played his minor hockey in Calgary. "Ive lived a lot of years here and its always fun to win. This is the first shutout here, so its extra special." Edmonton (13-24-3), which won consecutive games for the first time in over a month, will go for three victories in a row Saturday night when they host the Philadelphia Flyers. Calgary (14-18-6) has split the first two games in its five-game home stand. Next up is the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. "The bottom line is we didnt play a very good game. We didnt give ourselves a chance to win. Heres one game that I didnt think we had our usual jump," Flames coach Bob Hartley said. Edmonton moves to within five points of the Flames in the Western Conference standings. "You have to give them credit, they are a hard-working team, but by no means are we going to lay down and be pushed over," Smyth said. "Were a team thats going to fight and claw and try and get ourselves bumping up in the standings, one game at a time and we did it tonight." It was the third meeting between the two provincial rivals and the third straight goaltending duel between Dubnyk and Berra. They had split the first two. Six minutes into the third period, Giordano nearly tied the game but had his shot from the point go off Dubnyks glove and then hit the crossbar. "We didnt get the bounces tonight but we werent good enough. We have to generate more and find ways to score," said Giordano. "For too long of periods of time, we were standing around and not moving our feet enough." Berra had 26 saves to fall to 5-9-2. All five of his wins have come in overtime or a shootout.
