One game after the Edmonton Oilers delivered perhaps their most emotional game of the season, they followed up with perhaps their least. The Oilers appeared to have left hands, feet and heads at the hotel in the face of a Carolina Hurricanes team that was locked out on the road last night as the end result saw him lose 7-2 to the revived Hurricanes. .

The Oilers conceded four or more goals for the ninth time in 15 games, moving from bottom to fifth in the league with 3.73 goals per game. Defensively, they had problems in goal, blue line and up front. They struggled with managing the pack, struggled with zone pressure, and struggled with transitions. At the end of the period he allowed two ugly things in 20 seconds.

In short, it wasn’t beautiful. In the words of coach Jay Woodcroft, “too much self-harm.”

The Oilers attempted just 47 shots in the game, 20 of which were completely missed. For their part, the Canes made 69 attempts, with 32 in the net. Our own number of Grade A shots was 18-14 Carolinas (running count), but this game was not that close. His 5v5 counts of 29-15 (shots) and 17-9 (Grade A shots) were close to the mark of a contest controlled by the home team. How much? All Oiler skaters saved one who “lost” shot share on the ice, going 5-5. I’ll (briefly) explain the details in each player’s comments.

player record

#2 Evan Bouchard, 2. A terrible game in which Bouchard was burned by six grade A shots that did not contribute to a good result at all. His signature play came when he first failed his two clear attempts and then Seth Jarvis came up behind him for an open look of him. The sixth Carolina goal sank into the sea. 31% shot share at 5-5.

#5 Cody Cesi, 4. A scathing 3-1 goal from Andrei Svechnikov, who rose as the winner, brought it back to Campbell. It must have been. Shot share 33%.

#10 Derek Ryan, 4. fell victim to a highly unfair puck-over-grass call when he struck the disc rather than taking it out of play. Two minutes to play with an active stick? This left Oil 2 players short and in the end he was robbed of a 2–0 goal. The skating was fine, but produced very little. Shot share 38%.

#13 Jessie Purjujärvi, 4. It was a much quieter game than Tampa, with 0 shots on the net. Contributed to McDavid’s goal by taking defender Jalen Chatfield out of play with a legitimate pick. Shot share 30%.

A valiant attempt with predictable results. 0% shot share.

#18 Zach Hyman, 5. In standard Hyman fashion, he scored Edmonton’s first goal, going hard to the netfront and catching the deflection.

He finished the night with a -3, but nothing terrible on the defensive end of the pack – 44% shot share.

#25 Darnell Nurse, 4. Effort is good, result is bad. Although he had three shots and three blocks to lead the D Corps in both divisions, he also rolled up a dash three on the night. Shot share 47%.

#26 Matthias Jeanmarck, 4. I received an unnecessary cross-check penalty on my first shift as a refueler. As one of the extra forwards he struggled to make a lot of impact on 0-shot attempts, but created a nice cross-crease pass that the RNH couldn’t handle.. On the bright side, he didn’t join was the only oiler to score ice for the opposing goal. Shot share 17%.

#27 Brett Clack, 3. 3 goals (3rd, 4th, 6th) of 7 grade A shot culprits. A good net off the pack contributed to McDavid’s marker on his drive. Shot share 29%.

#28 Ryan Murray, 4. Burning out with a 4-1 goal, they effectively put this goal down with a second left in the middle frame. Shot share 22%.

#29 Leon Drysitel, 5. One of the more dedicated oilers, he played the physical game with three heavy hits while having a feud with Hurricane d-man Jacob Slavin. ‘Canes lost on a cross ice pass on a powerplay goal (effectively 5-3). Ringing the post with a wicked power play drive helped create Hyman’s goal seconds later, giving the Oilers (short-lived) his 2-1 hopes. Shot share 40%.

#36 Jack Campbell, 3. He held the fort for most of the first period, blocking the first 13 shots fired, including 7 Type Grade A shots. However, he was beaten on the next real shot he faced after the Oilers cut the lead to 2-1. Lister from Svetnikov’s high slot bounced off his glove and went straight into the net. Just a killer goal that seemed to demoralize his team. Then things fell apart for netminder which allowed him four more before dawn. 32 shots, 25 saves and a .781 save percentage.

#37 Warren Vogel, 5. Skating every game hard and purposefully made him stand out on the night. Scored a penalty, also a rare feat. Shot share 23%.

#55 Dylan Holloway, 5 years old. A game full of ups and downs. Played in a career-high 15:15. In the middle of the first inning, he was fouled on a breakaway and got a penalty shot, but was unable to execute a deke and missed the net with a weak backhand. It was the power to track and regenerate the cycle. He made a critical mistake in the final moments of the second when he intercepted Hyman’s pass, which appeared to be aimed at Dry Saitle, and weakly flipped it over the Carolina blue line, stranding all three forwards. Committing, the “cane” took it in the opposite direction and scored in one second. Make it 4-1 on the clock. 53% shot share (9 for, 8 against), the only plus for the entire team.

#71 Ryan MacLeod, 4. I skated well as usual, but had a few defensive hiccups along the way. I had a team-leading 15 faceoffs, but only won three (20% ). Shot share 25%.

#80 Markus Niimelainen, 4. One of only three Oilers (Prudjärvi, Jean-Marc) to break the tie with plus/minus. There was also a turnover that led to another Oilers penalty. Play time only 8 minutes. 0% shot share.

#93 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, 5. After making a nice steal along the board, he got an early short-handed breakaway that allowed him to do what Holloway and Hyman couldn’t do on similar occasions: shoot at the net. But he couldn’t even beat Kopchetkov. Shot share 43%.

#97 Connor McDavid, 5. Goals and assists in three straight games in this trip basically achieved his season average given his current league-leading 15 GP, 15-16-31 figures. His third goal of his period was a work of art, in a one-on-one scenario Calvande roamed around his hahn and put his glove behind Kochetkov with a well-placed backhand high . However, he regained everything on the defensive side of the pack, and in the important opening Teuvo on goal he thrashed the pack in his battle with Terrabainen, Jordan unable to contain his Martinook in his 5-2 win. . There was also his sequence of rough defense with a weak backcheck that gave him 5 alarm chances. Shot share 27%.
