“I thought we committed to playing a certain style of hockey that’s conducive to the hockey that’s going to get played in the month of May,” said Woodcroft. “We’re conditioning ourselves in that kind of atmosphere, that kind of environment. These are some of the things that exude confidence in this team. The Oilers defence can still be a bit shaky, but that can be quelled by further strong commitments to defensive zone play from the forwards. In both games, the Oilers hung in there blow for blow all. It’s the second time we’ve seen the Oilers take on these Avalanche under Jay Woodcroft, and both games took extra time for a conclusion to be found. “I thought it was a very exciting game for our fans,” said Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft after the game.

Nathan MacKinnon scored the shootout winner and had his team's lone goal in regulation as the Avalanche won their sixth straight.

He had a great start to the game and he carried that through the night, he was tough to beat. It was a playoff-like feel to that game.” “It was a playoff style game,” he said. Edmonton outshot Colorado 11-0 in the OT session. I thought their guy was pretty good, too.” We lost the skills competition in the shootout.

Kemps made 49 saves tonight to help beat the Oilers 2-1 in a shootout. Nathan MacKinnon scored the only regulation goal for the Avs, and the shootout winner.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- Nathan MacKinnon scored the shootout winner after having Colorado's lone goal in regulation, leading the Avalanche to their.

He had a great start to the game and he carried that through the night, he was tough to beat. NOTES: It was the second of three meetings between the two teams, with the Avalanche winning the first 3-2 in Denver on March 21 on MacKinnon’s overtime goal. “It was a playoff-style game,” he said. Edmonton outshot Colorado 11-0 in the OT session. “We got an important point out of that game, though obviously we wanted two. “I saw everybody lay it on the line and compete at a very high level,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said.

Warren Foegele scored Edmonton's lone goal and Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen stopped 33 shots. The Avalanche got a goal from Nathan MacKinnon and a 49-save ...

Finally, Saturday’s defeat was the first for the Oilers in a game that Foegele scores. The average Edmonton game this season features a combined total of 6.37 goals in regulation, while an average Avalanche game sees the teams combined for 6.28 goals in regulation. To that end, Koskinen’s strong performance Saturday caps off a terrific week for the Oilers’ netminders, in which they combined for a 1.22 goals-against average and .962 save percentage while Edmonton went 3-0-1. He has been held pointless in five of the last six games. Saturday also marked the first loss anywhere in two weeks for the Oilers, who came into the game winners of six straight overall, their longest such streak since December 2015. But as much as those stats will raise eyebrows across Oil Country, the composition of Edmonton’s forward lineup really hasn’t been an issue given how well the Oilers are playing. On Saturday, the teams were deadlocked for all but nine and a half minutes. It was a scene that almost never happens between regulation and overtime, usually occurring only following a victory. The stat that jumps out the most from the two tilts between Edmonton and Colorado is the low number of goals: a combined total of just six in regulation time. So stirring was Koskinen’s play that when the horn sounded to end the third period, the crowd rose in unison to applaud the goalie. Unfortunately for the Oilers, they’ve lost both times. In their two meetings this season, Edmonton and Colorado have been tied for 96:29 of 120 minutes of regulation play, and they have never been separated by more than one goal.

Of his sword-sheathing maneuver after shutting down the Oilers shooters Saturday, Kuemper said "that just kind of happened."

The goalie had reason to be happy. The Oilers wanted to trade for him this past offseason, as He’d made all the saves he’d needed to in regulation.

The Edmonton Oilers gained a critical point in the playoff race Saturday night in a game which not everyone would have bet on that result.

The eye may well see more mistakes because there are more. His data also shows that 25 and 5 are enjoying success in this role. But you’re not going to be when you play against the best players on the other team, night-in and night-out. And as I wrote 2 weeks ago in this space, given how good Kane has been for the Oilers, I hope Milstein can find Kane a new deal here, too. And it’s fair to say that if Philp had been playing at The University of Denver, he would have been much higher on the radar. 6. The injury bug has hit the Bakersfield Condors. The names that really jump out when you see that they are on the shelf Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg. But I am led to believe neither is expected to be out long.

I wasn’t sure exactly what I was seeing from Mikko Koskinen’s game in the 1st Period due to the amount of iron Colorado was hitting.

Edmonton Oilers prospect Carter Savoie is rumoured to be signing an NHL contract in the near future. ADVERTISEMENT. According to Sportsnet's Jeff Marek, ...

We expect him to come out of college, forgo the junior year, it is certainly heading in that direction and that’s the expectation that at the end of all of this, Carter Savoie will be a member of the Edmonton Oilers.” “One of the other things we’re following right now is University of Denver’s Carter Savoie,” Marek said during the 32 Thoughts segment of Saturday night’s Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. A native of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Savoie totalled 23 goals and 22 assists for 45 points in 38 games for Denver in the 2021-22 season.

NHL rumors: Maple Leafs might not sign Knies, Oilers going to get Savoie, Flyers to decide on Konecny and news on Blackhawks' Dylan Strome.

Jim is a daily must for readers who want to be “in the know.” He’s shown enough value to be a trade asset if he’s not part of the team’s long-term plans, so it wouldn’t make much sense to let him walk for nothing.” Can he play well enough to avoid having the Flyers look at trading him or will they try to give him a fresh start somewhere else? As per a report by TSN’s Darren Dreger, the Maple Leafs are set to meet with prospect Matthew Knies in the next day or two now that his college season is now over. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman also reports that Knies to Toronto isn’t a slam dunk. There was talk he would make an immediate jump to the NHL but Dreger reports a decision has not been made yet.
