Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Super Bowl
A pair of NHL teams from north of the border take the ice in search of two points in the capital city of Canada. The Edmonton Oilers are on the road as they travel eastward to face the Ottawa Senators Saturday afternoon. Edmonton was in action Thursday night as they battled the Flyers in the City of Brotherly Love: they fell short 2-1 in a shootout in a defensive struggle. Ottawa hasn’t played since defeating Montreal 5-4 on the road in the second game of a home-and-home set January 31. In the last 10 meetings between the teams, the Oilers own a commanding 8-1-1 advantage but the Senators have taken the last two meetings. That includes a 3-2 overtime win at home in the most recent meeting on January 31, 2022.

Against Philadelphia, Edmonton’s offense never got into gear and that, coupled with a lack of power play opportunities, doomed them to defeat. In the opening period, the Oilers were outshot by a 10-7 margin and they trailed 1-0 on the scoreboard after 20 minutes of play. The second period saw Edmonton outshot by a 12-11 margin but they tallied the lone goal of the stanza to knot things up at the second intermission. Evander Kane tied the game with his eighth goal of the season at the 1:56 mark off assists from Connor McDavid and Mattias Janmark. The third period saw Edmonton with a 12-11 edge in shots on goal with neither team lighting the lamp, keeping things level at the end of regulation. In overtime, Edmonton owned a 5-3 shot advantage but neither team scored, necessitating a shootout. During the shootout, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored for the Oilers while McDavid and Draisaitl came up empty. Meanwhile, the Flyers got goals from Travis Konecny and James van Riemsdyk to win it. Stuart Skinner made 35 saves for Edmonton, who was outshot 36-35, in the loss. He’s expected to get the start in goal for this contest as well.
