There was a lot the Oilers did right, despite trailing twice throughout the game. Here’s everything you need to know.
Nugent-Hopkins Chips In
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring for the Oilers with a quick wrist shot from the slot. He was the one to tie the game when Edmonton was trailing in the first period. While some worried about his scoreless drought, he seemed to silence those concerns. This was his first even-strength goal of the season.
If players like Nugent-Hopkins can give the team more consistent secondary scoring, the Oilers will go far.
