What happened: Actor Russell Crowe praised Edmonton Oilers goaltender Devon Levi with a 'Gladiator' reference following Levi's pregame ice ritual and first career shutout. The Oilers responded by adapting the film's signature line, stating, 'What we do in the crease echoes in eternity.
Why it matters: The exchange followed Levi stopping all 19 shots in a 1-0 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs to secure his first shutout with the club. That result extended momentum for an Edmonton Oilers squad that has rebounded to win four consecutive games following an October loss to Detroit.
What to watch: The Oilers close out their back-to-back road set against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight.
