In his eighth NHL game, No. 1 overall draft pick Taylor Hall scored his first career goal for the Edmonton Oilers in a 3-2 shootout loss against the Columbus Jackets on Thursday night. Entering play on Thursday the 18-year-old Hall had recorded just one point (an assist) in his previous seven games, but managed to chip in on both Oilers goals in regulation, also getting credit for an assist on Shawn Horcoff's power play goal in the first period.

The goal itself was a deflection in front of the net as Hall directed a Theo Peckham shot from the point past Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason, tying the game at two midway through the third period, ultimately sending the game to overtime and giving Edmonton an opportunity to earn at least a point in the standings.
