Game Notes: Edmonton Oilers @ Calgary Flames (Oilers Nation)

1. Tuesday night's game between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames will be the third and final Battle of Alberta during the 2022-23 regular season. It's ...

For the Oilers, sitting at 18-15-2 is nowhere near where they wanted to be at this point in the season. Part of the team’s ho-hum performance can be attributed to a down season from Jacob Markstrom, who has an .894 save percentage through his first 24 starts, but another major issue for the Flames has been a lack of scoring power. After a wild off-season in which the team lost Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk and added Nazem Kadri, Jonathan Huberdeau, and MacKenzie Weegar, the Flames came flying out of the gate and won five of their first six games. The Oilers won the rematch a few weeks later in Calgary by a score of 3-2 thanks largely to a 40-save performance from Stuart Skinner. Both teams have played 35 games, the Oilers have 18 wins and the Flames have 16. It’s been said before and it’ll be said again, but it’s absurd that Edmonton and Calgary are only playing each other three times over the course of an 82-game schedule and all three of those games will have been played before the turn of the year.

Stuart Skinner holds off Flames in Edmonton Oilers 2-1 win (Globalnews.ca)

Stuart Skinner made 46 saves as the Edmonton Oilers pulled out a 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames Tuesday night. The Flames outshot the Oilers 47-22.

“We don’t win the game unless Stuart turns in the effort he did. After a scoreless first period, the Flames went ahead early in the second. So, just trying to give my team the best chance to win.”

Ainsi, il reste 47 affrontements aux Oilers pour se remettre sur la voie du succès et y demeurer. Même si leur fiche de 18-15-2 n’est pas vilaine en soi, il en faudra davantage pour se faufiler dans le portrait éliminatoire. Cette fois, ce furent beaucoup de hauts et de bas, comme des montagnes russes. Récemment, ils ont baissé pavillon devant les Ducks d’Anaheim, les Canucks de Vancouver et les Blues de St.

CALGARY — When the Edmonton Oilers were flying here Tuesday morning, after being delayed in Edmonton because of freezing rain that had closed the Calgary…

But he would have to be signed and on their roster at the March 3 deadline to be eligible for the post-season… Barrie’s 50-footer through traffic dipped under the goalie’s glove in the second period for his milestone 100th, one more than Charlie Huddy if we’re into Oiler history. He stopped all 31 shots after replacing Jack Campbell in the first period of the 4-3 Game 1 Calgary win Oct. Not a good idea in hindsight especially when the penalty is 190 feet from the Calgary net. And in a hotly contested rubber match, dominated by Skinner and his counterpart Jacob Markstrom, Connor McDavid, who looked like he might have hurt his left leg on a second-period hit by MacKenzie Weeger, got the 2-1 game-winner in the third.

Ça pourrait être franchement mieux pour les Flames (Le Journal de Québec)

Les Flames de Calgary sont relativement satisfaits des premiers mois de la saison, mais ils espèrent en faire plus d'ici la fin du calendrier.

Cependant, le reste du club devra en faire plus, dans toutes les facettes du jeu. Je pense que si vous êtes dans le portrait des séries une fois Noël arrivé, vous avez de bonnes fondations sur lesquelles bâtir. Avant d’accueillir les Oilers d’Edmonton mardi, ils s’accrochaient de peine et de misère à la dernière place donnant accès aux éliminatoires dans l’Association de l’Ouest.

This was, like a win in Tampa or last week’s rare victory at Dallas, the kind of road win that shows you something about this Oilers team. He was, as McDavid said, “a horse.” Then he stopped 40 of 42 in a 3-2 win down here on Oct. To recap, Skinner made all 31 saves in a loss 4-3 to Calgary up in Edmonton on Oct. This was, perhaps, a coming out party for Skinner, who went into the Christmas break as the Oilers No. For two teams coming out of the Christmas break, this game was as well played as you’ll see.

I don’t care what the score is. No Oiler on the ice even looks at Weegar. - Another game, another instance of the Oilers getting outshot. [December 28, 2022](https://twitter.com/EgersundFarmTom/status/1607924535323684866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) I humble myself before the Hockey Gords for allowing him to come back to us. Yeah, the score was tied but that’s your captain and I think it’s gross that not even one guy went to give Weegar a shot or a push or even a sternly worded letter. - Connor McDavid gave the Oilers the lead (2-1) on the power play with a snipe from the slot after he took a pass along the boards from Draisaitl, walked toward the centre of the ice, and picked his spot perfectly. With the goal, Barrie finds himself tied for eighth in NHL scoring amongst defencemen with 28 points (5G, 23A) this season. To put it another way, Stuart Skinner goalie’d the Flames in a way that only ever happens to us and I think everyone in that locker room owes him an edible arrangement. Frankly, the boys were lucky to make it through the first 10 minutes or so without getting burned. From start to finish, Stu was easily the Oilers’ best player, and had it not been for him then I really doubt the Oilers would have been able to hang around in this game for very long. And when the Oilers could only muster a trio of shots on goal past the midway point of the frame, the vibes were about as positive as a fart-filled elevator full of people.

Nick Schmaltz and Clayton Keller each had a goal and an assist for the Coyotes, who have won back-to-back games. Evan Rodrigues and Mikko Rantanen also scored while Alexandar Georgiev made 27 saves for the Avalanche, whose four-game winning streak ended. The Blackhawks were trying to win back-to-back games for the first time since late October. Martin Necas, Jesper Fast and Jordan Martinook scored goals for Carolina, which won its ninth game in a row. The two-goal game was the second of the season for both Lee and Barzal. New York lost for the second time in three games following a seven-game winning streak. Josh Bailey had a goal and an assist and Brock Nelson added two assists for the Islanders, who earned their most lopsided win over the Penguins since a 9-3 rout on Feb. Calle Jarnkrok had a goal and two assists for the Maple Leafs, who are 12-2-1 in their last 15 games. Marcus Johansson, Erik Gustafsson and Lars Eller scored for the Capitals. Jake Oettinger made 26 saves for the win. He became the first player to notch 16-game point streaks in consecutive seasons since Dany Heatley did so for the Ottawa Senators in 2005-06 and 2006-07. McDavid's power-play goal at the 7:28 mark of the third proved to be the difference.

Edmonton Oilers -- a long way from perfect but an even greater ... (Edmonton Journal)

Game Day 36: Edmonton at Calgary Tonight the Edmonton Oilers will try to get back on the horse in a most appropriate place: Calgary's Scotiabank Saddledome.

The Oilers would certainly welcome a continuation of that trend in this old-fashioned “four-pointer”. Skinner again gets the start. Each of McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins and McLeod will centre their own lines, highlighting Edmonton’s extraordinary strength down the middle. The Oilers remain one of the NHL’s most watchable teams, with plenty of action at both ends of the rink and a large majority of games which go down to the wire. Which leads to the nightly question: can the Edmonton Oilers outscore their mistakes? Skinner has been a pleasant surprise, playing way more than expected (20 starts), currently ranking 20th in save percentage among the 50 NHL goalies with at least 12 appearances. The Oilers have had their share of injuries to this point, but entirely up front where they lost wingers Evander Kane, Kailer Yamamoto, and Warren Foegele along with centre Ryan McLeod for extended periods. What’s to be done? A combined set of results which partially explains the predicament in which the Oilers find themselves coming out of the Christmas break. However you slice it, there are twelve teams in the hunt for eight spots, with only the two division leaders seemingly a lock at this point. For the Flames, that was a 3-2 overtime win at Anaheim, for the Oilers a desultory 5-2 home defeat to Vancouver Canucks. Article content

2 Bottom-Six Forwards Oilers Should Acquire in Puljujarvi Trade (The Hockey Writers)

The Edmonton Oilers want to upgrade their roster, which will cost them one of their players since the salary cap is in their way. So to make a trade, ...

The Oilers’ offence can’t be left to just a few of the stars, and Puljujarvi hasn’t been able to be a part of the solution. He’s spoken of the level he feels he has to play at with McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and is constantly being put in that role. Either Acciari or Lafferty would work great in my books, and there’s a good reason for both the Blues and Blackhawks to make the trade. Lafferty will also hit and is good on the defensive side of the puck. [Noel Acciari](https://thehockeywriters.com/docs/noel-acciari/), who is quietly producing in the Blues’ bottom-six. They have no superstars, and he could fit the style of play that head coach Craig Berube expects of his players. Their penalty kill has been on the rise, but Lafferty is a strong penalty killer who can also produce some offence. He is a UFA at the end of next season with a cap hit of just $1.15 million AAV. More teams have started to become interested in players with one year left so that they can be used for more than one playoff run. Edmonton has options in players that should be available by the trade deadline, though nothing is imminent, and a rental or someone with a year left on their deal would surely do the trick. The name that keeps coming up with a large enough cap hit is Jesse Puljujarvi, At this point, the organization is likely fine with
