Skill brings kills, as does speed.

With 5 ticks left on the clock, Conor McDavid throws a pass into open space without looking through the rear-view mirror window. that.

Then, in the first shift of overtime, McDavid breaks out 2-1 with Leon Drycytle — after Darnell Nurse sends him on the ice — and, umm, Drycytle hits the Florida Panthers. We ended up filling in one goalkeeper, Spencer Knight.

After the Edmonton Oilers beat the visiting Panthers 4-3 on Monday night and recovered from 3-0 in the third period at Madison Square Gardens on Saturday afternoon, Dry Saitle scored the winner. , ended with two consecutive She’s Believe Ws. 2 minutes left in regulation.

So, after a month of winning streaks, losing streaks, winning streaks, and losing streaks, the Oilers have won two in a row for the first time since October 29 (Calgary) and November 1 (Nashville). This wasn’t 61 minutes of play, but like 60 minutes in New York, where he scored the Oilers’ first goal on a breakaway in the second frame, McDavid said, “It’s kind of a lethargic game and probably the best in the world.” The funniest game, but we’re just hanging in there and like I say, sometimes you have to win the B or C game.

“It was a muddy track for both teams and we had to find a way to get over the slop,” said Oiler coach Jay Woodcroft. Ryan McLeod was all injured and Florida was without great captain Sasha Barkoff. “But in the end that game he was worth two (he’s 12-10 this season).”

Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour scored 3 minutes and 15 minutes before goal when Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk was challenged by Woodcroft for a possible high stick play when he hit one past Stuart Skinner. It looked like there could be a winner in the half. They lost it in video review — the first of four this season — but Bouchard saved them by scoring the first two goals of the season against the New York Rangers on Saturday.

“It’s a sloppy draw. I was just trying to keep it alive… I think he’s probably there. Thank you for being there. Bauchi can’t miss this from there.” No,” said McDavid.

“Bauch thinks like an attacking guy (going into the open). He did a hecuba shot. Their goalkeeper played really well (36 stops).”

“Bow? He feels it,” said Woodcroft.

Definitely the last two games.

Almost every night for McDavid. Same as dry cider.

2 to 1 for OT? Unless the goalkeeper makes a nice stop, everything is automatic for these two. This is no different back to the glory days when Gretzky vs. Kuri were scoring goals offensively when they invaded his zone.

“Leo and I like them,” McDavid said.

I am not joking.

“Two pretty good players.

“They are dynamic and have a lot to process. They won games for them after they tied games,” Maurice said.

After Nurse found Drysitle, Florida defenseman Aaron Ekblad appeared to get some of his glove on Drysitle’s pass to the 97, giving McDavid and Drysitle a break. It wasn’t a clean transition between. Despite some wobbles, Draisaitl cleaned up great for his OT goal in his 11th career.

So the Oilers went from 7-3 to 3-7 in their first 20 games, two dramatic victories in a row. The wheels may be spinning.

“Oh, hopefully,” said Drysitel. “When things seem to be going your way, you have to work hard for the bounce. They don’t just come and fall on your plate. We’re here with two pretty solid I put the game in.”

“We haven’t had our best first quarter… not where we wanted it to be,” said McDavid, noting that two draw wins could revitalize them. admitted. “We want to run. We have to tie the strings.”

Before his second-half heroics, Tyson Barry had scored another goal for the Oilers, the third in two games against Florida this season and the 99th of his career. Before Montur defeated Skinner, he let the evil slapper out of his hands, but returned after seeing it.

Florida center Anton Randell, who had gotten more work as Barkov was at home sick, tied the game 2-2 on a rushing play early in the third set. Tkachuk scored another Florida his goal five minutes before the end of the game.

The ‘n’ thing: Tkachuk was predictably booed on almost every shift. “He’s used to it. Sean Hoakoff, now Detroit’s assistant GM, was in the game. He’s in the pro game for the West Scouts…Hall of Famer Roberto Luongo, Florida’s head of goaltending, is also here There was… winger Tyler Benson, recalled from Bakersfield after a conditioning stint and added to the roster, was a healthy scratch. He sprained his knee in a preseason game against Vancouver.
