PHOTO: Oilers' Nilsson's new mask pays homage to Grant Fuhr
by from on (#ZQDK)
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Anders Nilsson is set to honor one of the franchise's all-time great netminders.
Nilsson will don a new mask that is a near duplicate of the one worn by Hall of Famer Grant Fuhr when he manned the Oilers' net during their dynasty of the 1980s.

Nilsson won't have a chance to show off his new cage in game action until Friday at the earliest, when the club hosts the Tampa Bay Lightning.
