Oilers’ disastrous loss in Dallas should serve as a big lesson as playoffs near https://t.co/Jp9qtNZC4y
The Oilers get shut out on the road. 👀 ✅ DAL -125 ✅ U 6.5 Total Goals https://t.co/3u9Qv0NxJZ
Well, that's a reminder of what happens when your attention to detail wanders against a good team. And the way Oettinger played, we're not even sure there were any points for EDM tonight anyhow. Make the final, 5-0 Stars.
You gotta feel so good for Jake Oettinger. A shutout on home ice against a team with a 50-goal scorer and the best player on the planet closing in on a 100-assist season. Back-to-back shutouts, after all he's went through this past year. Huge. Huge for him, huge for the Stars.
Dallas with 4 Goals in 5:48…to end the 2nd. Crazy. Oilers’ giveaways are inexcusable. 5-0.
Five different goal scorers for the Stars. Oettinger back on his game. Good luck, Western Conference.
Far from a masterclass in defending by the Oilers in the second period. Tons of turnovers and mistakes. That third Dallas goal should never happen. Such chaos is exactly why Knoblauch (and Woodcroft before him) opts for two blueliners on PP2. Two huge D zone blunders followed.
OiIers getting embarrassed in Big D. These are the teams they'll have to beat. 5-0 Stars, second period, and EDM falling apart at the seams. Four goals in 5:48 for Dallas, and Pickard is playing his tail off in goal.
Oilers with 21 shots on goal, three goal posts and zero goals as we approach the game's midway point. Two good teams, but neither are particularly stingy tonight. Some fine goaltending here, Oettinger v. Pickard.
Decent period for the Oilers but two mistakes by veterans hurt. Draisaitl makes a turnover on the game’s only goal. Nurse gets a 10-minute misconduct after a minor penalty; can’t do that.
