The Edmonton Oilers finally the beat the Minnesota Wild, scoring a 5-2 win Friday night at Rogers Place.

“Yamamoto coming back into our team has been a real important addition,” Woodcroft said after the game. “All last year we did, and I think this homestand has been reminiscent of that.” “I thought tonight everybody was going, and we played a pretty solid 60 minutes overall,” Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said after the game. The actual game starts at 6 p.m. It was Yamamoto’s first goal of the season. “He’s doing five-on five and five-on-four.

The end of that run cannot come soon enough for the home side and their fans. Same group that chased off the Coyotes on Wednesday will attempt to tame the Wild tonight. As Janmark recently discovered to his chagrin, none are guaranteed an NHL job, even as all three men have in the range of 400 big-league games. - Mattias Janmark was odd man out to start the season, caught in a cap crunch that didn’t even leave room for his relatively modest cap hit. His fellow 1998-born right winger Kailer Yamamoto, meanwhile, still sits at zero goals on the season, though he has looked much better since his recent return from injury. Physical play with gusts of truculence, wicked wrist shot, and charming giggle make a potent combination for bottom six candidates in this town. Another recent call-up with a clearer path to a long-term future is Klim Kostin, an unlikely candidate to produced the Oilers’ first Gordie Howe Hat Trick in recent memory. Another survivor for now is Brad Malone, who has found renewed life as an NHLer, or at least a “tweener”, well into his 30s. He and other injured forwards are outlined in blue here: That game saw the Oilers erupt for a season-high 8 goals in just their second win of the entire season where their opponents weren’t close enough to pull their goalie at the end. A run of injuries to middle-six forwards has provided an additional degree of opportunity for many of the hopefuls. Article content

The last time Edmonton played Minnesota, the Oilers were dead tired. They lost badly. This time, they were just tired of losing.

“But, I thought it was a good sign that he was on the ice. Nugent-Hopkins capped off his three-point night with the empty netter. I was happy to see he got rewarded with a goal because he’s been all around it.” Momentum shifted back Edmonton’s way, however, when Kailer Yamamoto scored his first of the season to make it 3-2. “It gives confidence to everybody in the lineup. “It provides momentum for the team. “When you’re getting contributions throughout the lineup it’s awesome,” said winger Zach Hyman. For the second game in a row, the notoriously slow-starting Oilers started fast. We did that and got better as the game went on.” “As it went along we got better, for sure,” said Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who led the way with two goals and an assist. We had a very good first period, good special teams, contributions up and down the lineup, it was great. Article content

His relationship with Hockey Canada is a bit more interesting: he was excellent at the U-17 World Challenge in 2019 and was one of the team’s most important players on the 2021 U-18 squad, but wasn’t invited to the WJC camp last year and didn’t play on the summer team, either. He had two assists in nine games with the Kings before getting a five-game conditioning stint in the AHL, where he eventually scored his first pro hockey goal. His conditioning stint with the Coachella Valley Firebirds was a success, and he scored in his return against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, but that didn’t do anything to change the game plan. The 24-year-old had just came back from the LTIR after suffering a lower-body injury late in training camp and drew in for just two games with the Oilers. As I wrote yesterday, Benson’s been a great producer at the AHL level scoring 38 goals and 155 points in 177 games with the Condors. Add in his 21 games of NHL experience and this will be a huge opportunity for Guenther, who should return to the Coyotes once the tournament ends.Clarke was a bit of a surprise to make the Kings out of training camp, but it became clear based on his early usage that the team viewed his time working with the coaching staff to be more valuable than beating up on the OHL.

“What we're learning is that when you play towards a structure and an identity, it allows you to win hockey games. Stretching his goal-scoring skein to seven games, he became the first Oiler since Jimmy Carson in 1988 to enjoy a streak of that length. We did that and got better as the game went on.” It’s simply been a bad matchup for Edmonton, one that the Oilers turned around on a Friday night at Rogers Place. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (1-2-3 on Friday) has 14 goals and 33 points after 28 games, and is running a line that includes neither Connor McDavid nor Leon Draisaitl. For the first time this season the notoriously slow-starting Oilers have jumped out to consecutive 2-0 leads.

EDMONTON, AB - "I think sometimes, lessons come hard if you're deaf to them," Head Coach Jay Woodcroft said post-game on Friday night.

By the end of it, you hope to find out what type of team you are and how you're going to be successful in the playoffs." "There are different stages in the season, and the important thing that we're stressing as a coaching staff is the ability to get better every day. "Yeah, I think we're finding our game, but I think we have another level," Nugent-Hopkins said. "I think we have a lot of guys up front that are banged up and not playing. The Kostin-Shore-Ryan unit put in another valuable shift over the 60 minutes, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins continued his incredible season with a goal and two assists between Mattias Janmark and Kailer Yamamoto in his more-comfortable centre position. 26, while returning Rogers Place to the fortress it once was. Stu made some big saves and was solid in there for us, but I thought overall it was one of our best 60 minute-performances to get one over on these guys. "I think guys are stepping up," Hyman said. "Before this homestand, I don't think we liked our home record," Zach Hyman said. James Hamblin, with only six NHL games of experience to his name, finds himself centring the third line while picking up extra reps on the penalty kill. Then, guys are getting called up like Hamblin, playing just steady for a guy who's only got a couple of games in the league. I thought tonight, everybody was going and played a pretty solid 60 minutes overall.

Edmonton was able to go up 2-1 on the hometown Wild, courtesy of goals by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, but they ran out of steam in the latter half of the contest. "He's a great guy and someone that is really well-respected in the room is a great leader for us and has been for a really long time," McDavid said. The Oilers commitment to team defence held the Coyotes to only 18 shots on the evening, while Connor McDavid recorded his second four-point affair in three games. But Coach Woodcroft leans on expected goals for and what hasn't been going in for his team -- a stat that sees the Oilers near the top of the NHL. The Wild rallied off the next four goals and held Edmonton to a single goal in the last four seconds of the game by Kostin to pick up the victory. Marc-Andre Fleury made 22 of 26 stops in the loss, while Wild star Kirill Kaprizov would notch his team leading 17th goal of the season. Almost similar to we started the year with the spine theory of Connor, Leon and Nuge playing on different lines, but Ryan McLeod played pretty well right off the bat. I thought 35 minutes into the game, I looked up at the shot clock and we'd given up 13 shots against in that situation. Edmonton has been defeated by Minnesota in 17 of their last 20 meetings in Oil Country (3-14-3).

I’ll highlight just 2 here, a superb save to stuff a set play beneath the icing line from Kaprizov to Zuccarello, and an outstanding post-to-post robbery of Kaprizov’s one-timer early in the third. Chipped in on the PK, including an important shift late in the game where he made a diving play to chip the puck out of the zone and kill off the last seconds of Minny’s last powerplay. Took a penalty but drew 2 of his own, one of which led to a goal and the other to some important clock-killing down the stretch. A very worrisome moment in the first period when he hooked skates with an opponent on the backcheck and went down awkwardly and in obvious pain. As with Barrie, he got plenty of high profile minutes with and against the most skilled forwards on both teams. His only impact on the event summary was the hooking penalty that put the Oilers two men short for 1:36, but he put in a solid 19 minutes of work on Edmonton’s effective second line. Served up a pizza to Eriksson Ek that not only delivered the puck directly to the Wild man but gave him plenty of time to choose his toppings before firing the puck home to slice Edmonton’s early lead in half. Indeed, nearly 11 of Barrie’s 14 even-strength minutes were directly against Kaprizov, with the Oilers holding their own on both the shot clock (6-5) and scoresheet (0-0). Made a key play on the Ryan goal that opened the scoring, earning an assist in the process. Played just 7:38 on a night the bottom six were all clustered in the high single digits. Played just under 25 minutes, 5 of them on the penalty kill and heavy 5v5 minutes against a heavy line centred by Joel Eriksson Ek. Not sure that it could be categorized as a full 60-minute performance, as Minnesota carried the play from about the 10-minute mark of the first to a similar point in the second with their high-pressure game, wiping out an early 2-0 Edmonton lead in the process.

In the 10-year period that began in 2010 and ended in 2019, the Edmonton Oilers had 10 selections in the second round of the NHL draft.

From the outside, the handling of Lavoie is a mystery. Lavoie suffered a knee injury in the spring, and it cut his 2021-22 season short. He doesn’t recognize danger quickly and that’s probably part of the issue. Another NHL organization would be wise to sign him and invest playing time in this player. Lavoie has some exceptional skills (first-shot scorer) but is streaky and his playing time is being lost to younger players and minor-league veterans. The pro level has been a challenge for Lavoie, and this season is his final one covered in the entry-level deal. Markus Niemelainen and others are pushing for the same success. The middle 16 games were the last games for Jay Woodcroft as coach of the Bakersfield club. The bad news is that almost without exception these men had long audition periods in the AHL and in some cases returned after a time in the NHL.
