Oilers

LOS ANGELES — Connor McDavid a battu sa marque personnelle en inscrivant un 42e but dans une saison et est devenu le septième joueur de l'histoire à réussir ...

Warren Foegele a aussi marqué pour les Oilers et Mike Smith a stoppé 30 tirs. McDavid, qui a également obtenu une aide, trône au sommet du classement des pointeurs de la LNH avec 109 points.

Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft, who replaced Dave Tippett mid-season, has been impressed with McDavid's play and believes the team is benefiting from his efforts at ...

"It's not on what other teams in the Western Conference did," Woodcroft said. "Those numbers don't happen every day," Woodcroft said. Connor McDavid is reaching new heights and taking the Edmonton Oilers with him on the journey.

In a battle for second place in the Pacific Division, Edmonton set foot in Los Angeles, defeating Kings 3-2 in regulation and taking the game three points away ...

“And for Mike, he got that feeling because he got the job. “That’s our big focus in the playoffs,” said Bouchard, who collects a $ 212,000 bonus to score his tenth goal. “But he’s also driving us by paying attention to the details of the defenders of things. Playing with Duncan Keith is accelerating the growth of young defensemen. If Smith finds a two-way match, he starts scoring, adds assists, and is just behind Captain Connor McDavid, who was a defensive demon when Kings tried to tie the match. But when he stops the pack and plays better than any other hockey tendy as he does now, he’s really a weapon. So is the Oilers. Then, during the last few minutes of the Oilers taking a 3-2 lead, Smith repeatedly collected Kings’ dump-ins and put a puck on the Oilers’ defensive tape to make it easier to leave the zone and thwart LA attacks. “The numbers don’t lie,” said Evan Bushar, who played the first three-point game of his career. Puck passed through each of the four other skaters from Keith and arrived at Warren Forgere’s tape to score a goal from Derek Ryan’s lovely feed. For the first time in franchise history, we’ll be returning home on Friday morning from a California road trip, sweeping ducks, sharks and kings. They have allowed less than 2 goals in 4 of the last 6 games.

The Edmonton Oilers took a huge step in securing their postseason positioning with a 3-2 victory over the host Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena on ...

The Oilers face a serious test in their next game when they host the league’s top team, the Colorado Avalanche at Rogers Place on Saturday. Edmonton will be going for a franchise-record 10th straight home win. It was his 10th goal of 2021-22, making him the youngest defenseman to score at least 10 goals for the Oilers in one season since a 22-year-old Paul Coffey had 40 goals in 1983-84. The first tiebreaker is regulation wins, in which Vegas currently leads the Kings by two. For starters, Edmonton hasn’t yet lost sight of the division-leading Calgary Flames, who are six points in front of the Oilers. The Oilers have 10 games remaining on their schedule, while Calgary will play 11 more times. Edmonton is now seven points clear of the Vegas Golden Knights, who have the most points among teams outside of a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

The Kings would meet the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs if the NHL standings remain the same. Their loss Thursday indicates they must improve.

And once the Kings picked up the pace in the second period, they were able to do some of what they wanted to do. They couldn’t even get out of their own zone late in the game to attempt a frantic push. And so it’s on to the next one for the Kings, who will open a three-game trip at Minnesota on Sunday. They’ve been better on the road than at home this season, 18-16-4 on home ice and 20-9-6 away. After every game we kind of quickly go through the lineup while there’s a little bit of emotion left in it, and when you describe an individual as just OK, that probably cuts it in November, December, but certainly not in April. And we’re a little bit short tonight with just OK players. Asked what Thursday’s game might mean for a possible Kings-Oilers playoff series, McLellan said he looked at it in tandem with the Kings’ 4-3 shootout loss at Edmonton on March 30. “He’s a great player and he’s fun to play with.” Although the Kings couldn’t contain NHL scoring leader Connor McDavid, who scored his career-best 42nd goal to put the Oilers ahead in the first period and set up the third-period goal by defenseman Evan Bouchard that stood up as the winner, they’re not alone. Phillip Danault knew there was more to his game than being a defensive star and the Kings agreed. The Kings must watch their backs, too, with the Vegas Golden Knights four points behind them but also holding a game in hand. You’ve got to manage a game like that,” said Arvidsson, who used a screen to snap a long shot past goaltender Mike Smith and cut the Oilers’ lead to one goal seven minutes into the third period. Through Thursday’s games, Central Division teams Nashville (86 points) and Dallas (84) held the wild-card spots. The returns from injury of defenseman Matt Roy and forward Brendan Lemieux were heartening for them, too.

In what was arguably their biggest game in years, the LA Kings failed to get it done when they hosted the Edmonton Oilers in DTLA on Thursday.

Of the team’s final nine games, seven will be against teams that aren’t currently in a playoff spot. They’ll need to win these games, knowing that they’re the better team. The absence of Drew Doughty and Mikey Anderson from the LA Kings’ blueline is evident. The Oilers extended their Pacific Division lead over the Kings to three points. He made some big saves but didn’t get the defensive support needed for the win. The Kings fell 3-2 and now sit with a 38-25-10 record.

Connor McDavid getting over 100 points again and tracking down his first 50 goal season. Leon Draisaitl getting his second career 50 goal, 100 point season.

McDavid is leading the NHL in points by 6 over Jonathan Huberdeau. There isn’t much of an augment for it to not be McDavid. It is hard to say either of them is the most valuable because they have each other. This season so far seems to be a successful one as the Edmonton Oilers are currently sitting comfortably in a playoff spot.

If the Oilers finished up the schedule with a 5-4-1 record, they'd end up the regular season with 100 points.

Until this year, Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and company haven’t made home-ice advantage much of an advantage at all.
