But the results weren’t there for him, either. Fine work on a backhand wrap-around attempt in the second. A nasty early turnover, but then broke in fast and got off a 5-alarm shot off a Bouchard feed. Contributions to Grade A Shots (GAS): Even Strength +2/-1 Special Teams +1, 0.Įvander Kane, 4. Other than that, not much to talk about, as teams continue to park the bus in front of their own net, flooding that area with defenders, and taking away lanes for Drai and McDavid to do their best and preferred work. He made a super feed to set up Ceci late in the third, but the d-man hit the post. He got off his legendary Executioner’s Shot on an early power play but Mikhail Sergachev made the save. In total, Edmonton had more Grade A shots (which go in on average 25% of the time) 17-to-13, but the same number when it comes to the subset of 5-alarm shots (which go in 33% of the time), eight each for the Oilers and the Lightning. It also didn’t help that Edmonton’s big guns were quiet, save for Bouchard.
