Saturday’s four-goal, third-period blowout at Madison Square Garden won the Edmonton Oilers a game in regulation time for the first time in nearly 33 years after losing 3-0 with 20 minutes remaining.

In the Oilers’ 44-year history, it’s happened only six times.

The question is whether the current Oilers can forge a spectacular comeback against the New York Rangers after Monday night’s game against the Florida Panthers. The last time the Oilers won his two straight games was against the Calgary Flames on Oct. 29 and he against Nashville on Nov. 1, so it was a month ago.

The Oilers had just wrapped up their trip east by beating the frenzied Las Vegas Golden Knights team at Rogers Place and thought they were on their way, but they weren’t.

With the team trailing 11-10, 6-4 away and 5-6 at home, Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said, “It’s a season where everyone can build something and then take off.” I’m looking for the moment,” he said.

“My second period in New York was one of the best (it was a road trip that started in Jersey and went to Long Island). We were all dragging our heads a little bit to leave,” Woodcroft said. I was.
“You lost 3-0, but we talked in the dressing room. I came.”

“It was a dramatic win, but time will tell if it was a fork in which the big thread was tied. I don’t know it today. Whether it was that moment, one or We’ll find out in a month’s time. We’ve got to stack up a good game. We’ve got to live it in and out of the night,” he said.

The Oilers (70 for, 75 against) can score (11th in the league), but they clearly had big defensive problems. Only five teams (Los Angeles, Vancouver, San Jose, Columbus and Anaheim) gave up more.

Florida is 73-71, about the same in GF and GA. The Oilers have 22 and Florida has him 23.

“Hockey is a game of mistakes, and it’s important to make fewer mistakes than other teams and take advantage of the mistakes you get,” said Woodcroft.

Oilers winger Kyler Yamamoto was on the ice for Sunday’s practice at the Downtown Community Arena. End board during preseason. He appeared in 13 of his 21 games, but he wasn’t himself.

I am on a 7 losing streak.

“It’s a slow process, but I’m there. I feel better. I want to compete, of course, but I trust the training staff and doctors,” Yamamoto said.

Yamamoto didn’t say whether the problem was the incident in which Canucks Danny DeKeiser stumbled at an exhibition while he was in camp in Vancouver for tryouts.

“I don’t want to go into details,” he said.

“He didn’t accompany us on the trip, but it’s a really good sign that he was there today,” said Woodcroft. “He’s really close.”

this and that

Winger Warren Vogel did not play until the end of Saturday’s match after suffering a possible fall in a rut on the ice. Center Ryan McLeod had three assists in the third period but didn’t skate on Sunday. MacLeod maintenance day. Woodcroft said, “Some boo-boos have gone a little hollow. Vogel, who has only missed one regular-season game in the last two seasons, is unlikely to face the Panthers.” We’ll find out tomorrow (Monday)…Rookie Dylan Holloway did well in the third period rally, but the scoresheet still showed he played only 8:04. It looked like he played 15. He started on row 4. In any case, they were clearly quality time (11 shift) and his first NHL goal was at Igor Shesterkin. Yes, and was involved in two other goals.”Yeah, I was surprised when I saw that (time on the ice),” said Woodcroft…Florida captain Sasha Barkoff was ill. In (not Covid) we missed Saturday’s 5-4 loss to St. Louis, but it wasn’t Monday’s game on Sunday, and fly here with the Calgary team on Tuesday. The Panthers were forced to go with 19 skaters (11 forwards) in the Blues’ comeback win due to cap issues, but they called up Alex Heponiemi from Charlotte’s AHL Farm Club to make sure they had 12 forwards. … No for Sam Bennett because there was no Barkov. Anton his Randle on the 2nd hole and veteran Eric Stahl on the 3rd hole with Bruce in his #1 Florida his center … Tyler Benson is conditioning his stint (max. 4 games) were sent to Bakersfield. and James Hamblin were sidelined Saturday’s game against the Condors. Benson, who will be joining the roster, said he played three games on the farm, so perhaps they didn’t want to burn his fourth game just yet. It was game time and how good was Oiler’s power play after he wrestled along the board and pulled Tyson Barry’s helmet off his head… Evander Kane said Sunday’s Was skating with his little girl at DCA after practice, and they were there as Arcade Fire played a show at Rogers Place…Leon Draisaitl was on Saturday after the PP goal winner. Skated by Rangers captain Jake Truba. Inadvertently, on purpose?…After an impressive first few games since his call, Klim Kostin played only 6:29 in New York.
