Stuart Skinner with a stellar start…31 saves. The @EdmontonOilers PK’ers tremendous again…5 for 5! Bouchard (0-1-1) with a brilliant look! McDavid (1-1-2) with the GWG in Double OT. Hyman 1-1-2. Draisaitl 1G, 13 game point playoff streak (9-16-25). Strong performance by EDM!
Gotta say, who had Stuart Skinner being the difference maker so far in Game 1? Something the Oilers are feeding off.
Edmonton did a great job keeping the puck away from Stuart Skinner in their 2nd round series against the Canucks. @NeilParkerBets doesn't think that will be the case in Game 1 of the WCF against the Stars. Full analysis and prediction ⤵️ https://t.co/tjwAniOGgR
