Kostin scores twice for Oilers in win against Ducks (NHL.com)

Klim Kostin scored twice for the Edmonton Oilers in a 6-2 win against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center on Wednesday.

That's a recipe for a good win for us." "Obviously, they're a good team," Carrick said. Not time for a hat trick." "We should be able to break the puck out and, suddenly, it's on their stick." ... The last Edmonton player with 35 goals in 43 or fewer games before McDavid was Wayne Gretzky, who scored 35 goals in 35 games in the 1986-87 season. "I have to work a little harder. "I thought we controlled play from the start," Edmonton coach Jay Woodcroft said. That's the main thing," McDavid said. We've got to compete harder." "It happens way too much. It was his NHL-leading 35th goal this season. We have control of the puck," Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said.

Player grades: Oilers dominate Ducks again, this time the ... (Edmonton Journal)

Oilers 6, Ducks 2 Edmonton Oilers had a score to settle with Anaheim Ducks, and it showed. The visiting Oilers took it to their hosts right from the outset ...

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.

Kostin, McDavid lead Oilers' 6-2 rout of last-place Ducks (CTV Edmonton)

Klim Kostin scored two goals, and Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and an assist apiece in the Edmonton Oilers' 6-2 victory over the ...

Montreal is set to honour Subban ahead of a game against the Nashville Predators, the team the Habs dealt the blue-liner to in 2016. A severe shortage of substitute teachers in a B.C. In a week where Nova Scotia's health-care system has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, there was more bad news Wednesday. Montreal and Southwestern Quebec are under winter storm warnings for 15 to 25 centimetres of heavy wet snow expected Thursday night through Friday. Kirkland is expected to make a full recovery. Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued watches and warnings from Southern Ontario to Newfoundland. You have to be a self-starter. “To get on top of them early is important, and make sure that they know it's going to be a hard night.” “I feel a little more confidence since the start of the year,” Kostin said. Edmonton recorded 53 shots on goal while scoring at least six goals for the fifth time over the past five weeks and avenging a 4-3 loss to the lowly Ducks last month. I need to work a little harder.” Anaheim already was the NHL's worst defensive team before yielding 17 goals in its past three games.

Oilers' 6-2 Win in Anaheim is Encouraging, But Concerns Remain (The Hockey Writers)

13) on the third stop of a four-game all-divisional opponent road trip. Over this span the Oilers are just 5-5-3 and lost three times at home after leading by two goals. Over its first 33 games, Edmonton averaged just 1.15 goals per game from players outside of The Big Four, but that number has shot up to 1.7 in the last 10 games. That’s easy to do when leading by five goals, as was the case entering the final 20 minutes at Honda Center. Thus, it’s encouraging for the Oilers to get three goals on Wednesday from players not named Draisaitl, Hyman, McDavid or Nugent-Hopkins (“The Big Four” for subsequent references). [Zach Hyman](https://thehockeywriters.com/docs/zach-hyman/) and McDavid as Oilers with at least 20 goals, 43 games into the season. So was the 6-2 win a sign that the Oilers are getting back on track, or just more the result of playing a weak opponent than any significant improvement in Edmonton’s play? Skinner, for reference, has a season-long average of 34.46 shots against per 60 minutes. The former also had depth scoring that has been completely lacking from the latter. Edmonton was in front 4-1 after one period, and took a 6-1 lead into the second intermission. The Oilers fired 53 shots at Ducks netminders John Gibson and Anthony Stolarz, their most since Feb. The 2022-23 Oilers are also the fastest Edmonton team to have four players tally 20 goals since 1987-88 when the Hall-of-Fame quartet of Glenn Anderson, [Wayne Gretzky](https://thehockeywriters.com/docs/wayne-gretzky/), Jari Kurri and Mark Messier all had at least 20 goals by Edmonton’s 40th game.

Waking Up With The Edmonton Oilers- 6-2 Win Over The Anaheim ... (Oil On Whyte)

Last night the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Anaheim Ducks. It was a good all-around effort from the team. Here is a breakdown of the game.

This is another team that is below them in the standing and I would hope for a similar outcome to the one last night. Overall this was the game the Edmonton Oilers needed to have last night. - On the Ducks’ first goal the Edmonton Oilers had control of the puck twice and both times the players fumbled it and were unable to make a play. They played a good game against a weaker opponent and got two points. There was a Ducks player that went for a change and when he came on Yamamoto picked him up and followed him into the zone leaving the defenceman wide open. In that game, the Oilers showed no killer instinct.

Ultimately it was a fun night and great to see such a one-sided victory but as I have stated repeatedly over the past couple of weeks it is meaningless if they cannot follow up and do it over and over again. I'm not asking for a 6-2 win every game and in fact I would be much happier if they played a defensively sound game against another bottom dwelling team in the San Jose Sharks, limited their chances against and controlled 5 on 5 play. Holloway's goal opened the scoring for the Oilers and was a result of a great McDavid feed followed by no hesitation from Holloway on the shot. Not to be outdone, Draisaitl scored a beauty between the legs redirection on the PP from a great play and shot by Evan Bouchard. First of all, it is fantastic to see the Oilers make a trade that is actively helping the team. Kostin is an RFA at the end of this season and is currently making league minimum. The big man is doing all the right things and has gotten very comfortable playing with RNH and is actually showing he has the confidence to make skill plays. actually the bar is on the ground in a basement, so technically it's below the ground. Broberg and Bouchard continue to look like a strong tandem together, with the former improving with every game. The bar for this team is on the ground right now... This was a huge win against an opponent that I am being told does in fact play in the National Hockey League. The Oilers fought tooth and nail against a team that has not made it to the playoffs since 2018, managing a respectable 53 shots on net, compared to the Ducks 23.

The Day After 43.0: The Oilers understood the assignment in Anaheim (Oilers Nation)

That was a must-win game for the Edmonton Oilers. Following an embarrassing loss to the Los Angeles Kings to kick off their potentially season-changing ...

It should be pointed out that the lowly Ducks boast the league’s second-worst power play, but having a perfect penalty kill after the mess in Los Angeles is encouraging. Nugent-Hopkins is just eight goals shy of matching the career-high of 28 goals set back in 2018-19. - Vincent Desharnais, a rookie who started in the ECHL on a minor-league deal and worked his way to the big-league club, had a very steady debut. He logged 15:04 in all situations and had an on-ice shot attempt differential of 16-to-8, and wasn’t on the ice for either of Anaheim’s goals. They didn’t slow down after that, as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored his 20th goal of the season to make the score 2-0 under five minutes into the game. The Oilers came out fast and strong, trying to bury their opponents early.

Right now the Edmonton Oilers miss a player like that. Zach Kassian was that player before Kane joined the Oilers and he was another level of support once he got here. I just don’t see the Edmonton Oilers or any other team paying that much. In the playoff last year you would see if a player even looked at McDavid funny Kane was in their face. The only players in the line-up playing with an edge are Kostin and Nurse. This deal right now isn’t looking good, as Puljujarvi hasn’t had the success that either he or the Edmonton Oilers were hoping for.

Oilers: Vincent Desharnais n'a jamais abandonné - TVA Sports (TVA Sports)

Nombreux ont été les gens à lui dire de laisser tomber, dont lui-même parfois, mais le Québécois a fait preuve d'une grande persévérance.

Desharnais a aussi un allié de choix en Jay Woodcroft. Le longiligne athlète a un avantage particulier : il mesure environ 6 pi et 6 po. Edmonton a utilisé sept défenseurs face aux Ducks et Desharnais s’est signalé en désavantage numérique. «Ç’a été un peu fou, juste de le mentionner à mes parents a été un grand moment, a-t-il affirmé mercredi. À 26 ans, le défenseur québécois a goûté au circuit Bettman pour la première fois, et il a bien paru dans une victoire de 6 à 2 des Oilers d’Edmonton sur les Ducks d’Anaheim. Le Lavallois a emprunté un chemin atypique pour atteindre son but.

BLOG: Holloway hopeful to stick on McDavid's wing (NHL.com)

Oilers rookie opened the scoring Wednesday in Anaheim on a setup from the captain as their line with Yamamoto enjoyed a dazzling debut.

The biggest thing is I got to learn from that and I think I've been able to kind of build my game a little bit more to gain a little bit more trust with the coaches and a little more confidence in myself as well." You're going up against the best players in the world, so any little mistake kind of can bite you a little bit and it did there at the start for me. Holloway came in hot during the preseason with four goals and two assists, including a hat-trick at home against Vancouver. It's a hard league and certainly not a developmental league, so he's worked through some things and you can see him start to feel better about himself." "He skates really well and you can see his confidence growing," McDavid said. "He told me to kind of switch my mindset to be like a 70 percent shooter and 30 percent passer, because this league is so quick and guys are so fast to close that if you take that extra half a second, they're going to close on you," Holloway said.

Desharnais touche au paradis après une période sombre (RDS)

Ça m'a fait du bien et je me suis concentré là-dessus pour ce match », a révélé celui qui a terminé son passage à l'Université Providence en tant que l'un des capitaines. Je suis vraiment reconnaissant pour tous ceux qui m'ont écrit et aidé, c'est un moment assez magique », a conclu Desharnais qui est prêt pour les prochains chapitres. À commencer par Christian Kulczycki – un entraîneur des défenseurs exigeant qui l'a moulé habilement - et Christian Sauvageau qui lui a fait réaliser que le chemin américain pouvait le mener à la LNH. C'est plaisant quand tu arrives et que les gars ont déjà une bonne impression de toi », a admis Desharnais qui a aussi été dirigé par Jay Woodcroft, l'entraîneur des Oilers, dans la LAH. Au lendemain de sa première partie, Desharnais a eu droit à une séance vidéo plutôt positive avec Dave Manson, l'entraîneur des défenseurs à Edmonton. Je voulais tout lâcher, je ne savais même plus ce que je voulais faire de ma vie. « C'est sûr que je suis très fier de mon premier match. Lucide, Desharnais sait bien que l'opposition et le déroulement du match ont permis aux entraîneurs de se tourner plus souvent vers lui. « J'en parle et je viens émotif parce qu'ils ont fait tellement de sacrifices autant pour l'argent que le temps. Les dirigeants des Oilers l'ont cédé dans l'ECHL pour qu'il retrouve le sourire même si, en général, un séjour dans ce circuit constitue toute une gifle au moral d'un joueur. La scène était encore plus savoureuse car il n'oubliera jamais, dans son cœur et sa tête, ce qu'il a surmonté personnellement. « Tout ce que j'ai traversé, ç'a tellement valu la peine pour ce moment-là.
