Oilers strike early and late to beat Flames 5-3 in Game 4 (Globalnews.ca)

Edmonton Oilers maintain their series lead over the Calgary Flames in the second round of the playoffs with a 5-3 win in Game 4 Tuesday night.

“We knew they’d have a pushback and the way we stuck together and didn’t turn on each other at any moment shows good signs for our team.” “Our guys were saying the right things on the bench,” Woodcroft said post-game. “I don’t think there’s been a time in my career when I lost the puck and had no idea where it went.” Rasmus Andersson tied the game with a shocking goal with 9:04 left in the third. In the playoffs, that’s what you have to do.” “But Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was a first-overall draft pick in the NHL for a reason.

Calgary winger Tyler Toffoli then took a tripping penalty and the Oilers made the visitors pay when Hyman outmuscled a hobbled Chris Tanev — back in the lineup for the first time since Game 6 of the opening round despite a suspected upper-body injury — in tight to bury his fifth goal of the series and seventh of the playoffs at 9:53. Markstrom, who had allowed 14 goals in the series before getting pulled after two periods with Calgary trailing Sunday's Game 3 by a 4-0 score line, played the puck behind his own net on the first shift, but put it right on Nugent-Hopkins' stick for him to bury his third inside a deafening arena. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored his second goal of the night with 3:27 left in regulation as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Calgary Flames 5-3 on Tuesday to take a 3-1 lead in the teams' second-round playoff series.

The Day After: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins proved the Oilers aren't just a ... (Oilers Nation)

Edmonton will always remember Game 4 as the Ryan Nugent-Hopkins game, a well-deserved moment in the sun for a player who quietly does so many things so well ...

In the second round against Anaheim, they again had a 2-1 series lead and a chance to put the Ducks down 3-1, but blew a 2-0 first period lead and wound up losing in overtime. They took the Kings lightly in the first round, both in Game 1 and in Game 4. Nugent-Hopkins had his biggest game as an Oiler in Game 4, scoring the opening goal and then the game-winner with minutes left on the clock. Edmonton will always remember Game 4 as the Ryan Nugent-Hopkins game, a well-deserved moment in the sun for a player who quietly does so many things so well for this team. Every game you win, you gain confidence from and you want to keep that ball rolling and doing the good things that make our team successful. While we all would have loved to see a top-to-bottom spanking like the one the Oilers handed out in Game 3, it was impressive to see the team be resilient and edge out a difficult win as the Flames put forward a much better effort. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored 21 seconds into the game to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead and then Zach Hyman and Evander Kane scored to put the Oilers up by three goals before the end of the first frame. “The main thing was that we had to keep pushing. With just over three minutes left in the game, Nugent-Hopkins scored on the power-play to restore Edmonton’s lead. He does a lot of really subtle things really well and makes us a deeper team.” – Jay Woodcroft on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Every game is a team game, we know that. That didn’t happen with the Flames on Tuesday night.

Flames vs. Oilers - Game Recap - May 24, 2022 - ESPN (ESPN)

Get a recap of the Calgary Flames vs. Edmonton Oilers hockey game.

Calgary showed some life on slick power play in the second with Kane off for slashing. “Every game you play in the playoffs, you gain experience,” Smith said. This time, they took a stranglehold on the series without their best effort. “The main thing was that we had to keep pushing,” Nugent-Hopkins said after Rasmus Andersson scored short-handed from 150 feet away as Calgary rallied all the way back from a 3-0 deficit to tie the game. “I can laugh now, right?” a relieved Smith said. He scored his third. “You don’t want that to happen ... ever. We’ve just got to go home and focus on winning one game and take it from there. “There’s room for greatness from everybody on our team. “Stuff like that happens, it’s hockey. With the Oilers wavering, Nugent-Hopkins poked in his fourth goal of the playoffs from in front of Markstrom. Nugent-Hopkins scored his second goal of the game with 3:27 left in regulation, and the Oilers beat the Calgary Flames 5-3 to take a 3-1 lead in the second-round playoff series.

Game Notes R2G4: Oilers Need to Keep Attacking (Oilers Nation)

— Evander Kane became the 26th player in NHL history to score 10 goals in the first 10 games of a playoff season. Jake Guentzel (10 in 2018) and Johan Franzen ( ...

In periods two and three of game two and periods one and two in game three, the Flames produced very little offensively. The Oilers outscored them 8-1 in those four periods and outshot them 60-45. “When we get into their zone, we have to hold pucks and nothing blind, and get shots to the goalie. Edmonton outscored the Flames 9-3 at EV in games two and three. Draisaitl, Kane, and Hyman have all played big roles the past two games offensively. McDavid only played 21 minutes and 20 minutes in games two and three respectively. The good news for the Oilers, and bad news for the Flames, is that Draisaitl has looked healthier the past few games. Edmonton has struggled against teams with aggressive forechecks and the Flames weren’t able to do much of it in their two losses. — Game three was easily their best start of this series, and arguably the playoffs. Eight other Oilers have recorded three assists in a period, including Connor McDavid on Sunday, but no one, including Wayne Gretzky, managed four helpers in one period. — Leon Draisaitl became the first player in Stanley Cup playoff history to record four assists in one period. But then, without prompting, he mentioned game four and how the Oilers must learn from their previous mistake.
