Kostin scores twice as Edmonton avenges Monday's loss in Los Angeles with a dominant drubbing of the Ducks.
Sometimes you run into a hot goalie, and other nights the puck just seems to find a way in You look at Nuge's goal that kind of bounces in and around and finds a way in the net somehow. The tough-luck goal deflated the Ducks and the Oilers took advantage with two more tallies in the first period en route to the lopsided victory. What I really liked about our team was our push and fight and passion for each other in that third period in LA, and I thought that kind of went into tonight's game. So yeah, it's easy to play with those guys." Honourable mention to Leon Draisaitl who also put his elite skill on display late in the second period with the Oilers on the power play. The rookie now has three goals on the season and two in his last four games, while McDavid extended his road point streak to 11 games, setting a new career high. Campbell managed to stretch out his pad quickly to deny the prime scoring attempt and preserve Edmonton's 4-1 lead after 20 minutes. I thought the game the other day, one aspect of the game we didn't win was the special teams, and it was by a wide margin and didn't allow us to win. The German superstar won the ensuing faceoff after the Ducks penalty and made his way to the net as Evan Bouchard sent a pass his way. Captain Connor sent the plentiful showing of Oilers fans at Honda Center into a celebratory frenzy midway through the first period when he extended Edmonton's lead to 3-1 with a ridiculous goal. He started skating as if he was going to circle around the net but stopped sharply at the extended goal line, completely shedding Trevor Zegras who was trying to keep tabs on him. That's the main thing," captain Connor McDavid, who had a goal and assist, said post-game.

His behind-the-back pass to Holloway for the 1-0 was a thing of beauty, while his own tally was a masterpiece. As with Bouchard, his mistake on the first Ducks goal dropped his grade from 8 to 7, but a strong game nonetheless. He was a force on the back end, winning, controlling and moving the puck well all game long in a season-high 18:10. The kid finally got the push to a top 6 role riding shotgun with McDavid, and responded on his second shift just 3:24 by pounding home #97’s superb centring pass to open the scoring. A couple of defesnive issues in the opening frame, but his quality shone through the rest of the way with a number of outstanding passes, none of which resulted in a goal, and 1 sublime deflection, which did. Among those beaten on the end-of-powerplay breakaway, though in both his and Ceci’s defence neither of them gets a lot of time on that special unit. Had another magic moment on the penalty kill where a couple of nifty shifts sent him in alone on Gibson for a deke that very nearly worked. Played a “normal” 23:41 on a night the left shot defenders logged exactly 60:00 among the 3 of them. His main contribution was a fine keep-in and pass to McDavid that earned him an assist on the game’s first goal. Splendid game from the big Russsian who pounded home a pair of goals on excellent shots from the slot. Had a breakaway at the end of the second but the buzzer went before he could get to the net. Only thing between him and a “great game” rating was a defensive mistake on the first Ducks goal.
