Rookie Oilers centre Yan Stastny, a touted rookie and the son of NHL great Peter, appeared in his first pre-season game. The Oilers also dressed captain Jason Smith - who was cut in a third period fight with Jovanovski - but gave Chirs Pronger the night off.Notes: Vancouver continues the pre-season with home games against San Jose on Friday and Anaheim Saturday ... The Oilers are in Calgary Friday. ... Darryl Duke was dismissed after 10 seasons as Oilers strength and conditioning coach. ... Oilers prospect J.J.
