From the moment the puck hit the ice the Edmonton Oilers were all over the Calgary Flames in all three sections. The Flames defence pairings couldn’t stop a possessive zone entry in the second period, and it allowed McDavid and Draisaitl to walk right in and make plays happen in the crease. They weren’t able to dictate long stretches of play on back-to-back shifts until the third frame, but it wasn’t anywhere near enough. I will credit the Oilers players – they were winning the race to the puck almost every time – but I felt Calgary as a team weren’t anywhere up to their top level.
Beyond the Boxscore: Calgary Flames give fans very little to cheer about in Game 3 performance
