The power play was the main focus of Tuesday’s practice. I think just having more of a simpler mindset out there,” said Oilers forward Evander Kane. But that’s where the team is at as a lack of production with the man advantage has hurt the Oilers recently.

Edmonton Oilers goalies are struggling this season, they need an improvement that position. The Rangers have a spare goalie in Georgiev, is he a good fit?

I think if the Oilers make this trade this season they would send Mike Smith the other way. If these teams can make this deal work I could see both teams being happy at the end of the day. My major concern is what extra the Oilers need to add in. This means the team who has him at the time of the expiry will still own his rights. Although Georgiev’s contract expires at the end of this season he is a restricted free agent. One of the goalies that would be available could be the New York Rangers’, Alexandar Georgiev.

The Edmonton Oilers have got injuries and a power play ranked 23rd in the NHL since Dec. 5. Now they've got questions about how they're going to make up ...

That needs to be our focus, and let the results kind of be a byproduct of that. “More shots to the net and looking for second and third chances. But the Oilers couldn’t take advantage because the rest of their offensive game was nonexistent on this night. “On the defensive side of it, I thought it was good. That’s on the top guys that are getting paid to create, and we probably didn't do enough of that tonight.” The Oilers did a decent job accommodating for all the missing players Monday, playing a solid, low-event defensive game against the NHL’s hottest team. It’s about finding that second and third opportunity, and scoring a dirty one around the paint.” And now they’ve got questions about how they’re going to make up ground in the West, with a bunch of players playing above their pay grade due to injuries keeping Tyson Barrie, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jesse Puljujarvi, Evan Bouchard and Zack Kassian out of the lineup. “You can't forget that we’re missing three key pieces. It’s hard to replace a guy like that. It's hard to replace 16, 17 minutes from Puljujarvi.” “That’s our job.

"I was definitely excited not only because of that, but the way the standings are," he said. "I thought we did a good job of containing their top guys. That's on Connor, that's on me, that's on the top guys that are getting paid to create. "We didn't have to block a lot of shots tonight," Flames head coach Darryl Sutter said. Calgary held the fourth-best power-play in the NHL to 0-for-4 in the game and went 1-for-4 with a man advantage. Probably didn't do enough of that tonight." "You can't expect Brad Malone to come in here and score three goals tonight, right?" Toffoli got his first taste of the NHL's Battle of Alberta. The Flames acquired the forward from Toronto in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 14. "That's our job.

Jacob Markstrom made 27 saves as the Calgary Flames downed the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 Monday night.

The Oilers got a break five minutes into the third. “I thought the 20 players that we dressed gave us everything that they had,” Oilers interim head coach Jay Woodcroft said. “It’s one game,” Woodcroft said of Monday’s loss.
