Oilers game

Early success in the first period for Columbus fired up the Oilers to make a comeback later in the game.

They outshot the Blue Jackets 23-6 in the third. That was the end of the afternoon for Campbell, having allowed four goals on 14 shots. He’d add another one on a two-on-one to make it 6-4 with 5:04 left. Boone Jenner wristed in a shot on the power play; Marchenko added his second of the game, then Patrik Laine tallied from a sharp angle. While shorthanded, he grabbed the puck at his own blue line, bulled his way around Johnny Gaudreau, and slid the puck under Korpisalo. Kirill Marchenko knocked a pass past Jack Campbell for his fifteenth of the season.

The Oilers fought back from four goals down but failed to complete the comeback in Columbus on Saturday afternoon at Nationwide Arena.

We got to show up and on time, and tonight we didn't." McDavid finished the night with four points, pushing his season total to 113 -- a full 32 points clear of his closest non-teammate in Nikita Kucherov. The Oilers coughed up the puck while in transition, leading to a Blue Jackets counter-attack the other way. The Blue Jackets four-goal lead lasted just 8:02 in the second period. The onslaught resulted in Campbell being pulled from the game and replaced by Stuart Skinner. Columbus started off the frame by rattling off three-straight goals in the first six minutes of the second. The goal was Marchenko's 15th goal of the season, and strangely, only his 16th point, as the 22-year-old only has a single assist this season. The goal was Marchenko's second of the season against Edmonton, with the Barnaul, Russia native also lighting the lamp back on Jan. Jack Campbell began the game in the Oilers crease, but finished it on the bench after allowing four goals on 14 shots. Stuart Skinner came into the game in relief, turning aside 10-of-12 Blue Jackets opportunities for only the second regulation loss for the Oilers since Jan. The streak is tied for the longest goal-scoring run of the NHL season with Kirill Kaprizov and McDavid. "I thought Connor played very hard and tried to do things to spur the team on, but again, it's a National Hockey League.

They scored two goals after in the game after their third shutout, three goals after the fourth shutout, and four goals following shutout number five. For every game the Blue Jackets lose from here out, it helps the odds that Columbus ends up with Connor Bedard — who shares more than just a first name with the best player in the league. - In large part because of McDavid and Draisaitl (who have 39 of Edmonton's 66 power play goals) this season) the Oilers have the best power play in the league by a huge margin. That's not to say that one should actively root against Columbus, but consider it anytime that the Blue Jackets do add to the "L" column. In 59 games, the league-leader in scoring has 46 goals (1st), 63 assists (1st), and a whopping 109 points (1st, of course). Goals should come Saturday both for the Blue Jackets and the Oilers, though. The two have combined for a .901 save percentage and 3.13 goals against average. - Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner are the Edmonton goalie tandem, but neither are having a season worth writing home about. The Blue Jackets saw an end to their brief three-game point streak in a shutout loss Thursday night to the Minnesota Wild. He has 22 more points than anyone else in the league, and at 87 points (35 goals/52 assists), the man in second is teammate Leon Draisaitl. In the game after the first shutout, Columbus managed just one goal. Their 32.2% conversion rate leads any other team in the league by more than 6% and, if it holds, would be the highest power play percentage for a team in NHL history.
