One of these steps is to gain momentum and maintain it. Edmonton has surrendered lousy first-period goals or late third-period strikes that have cost them hockey games. Not to mention, they often wait until the last minute to play catch-up.
If they want to win against the Ducks, they need to start off strong from the get-go and focus on plays that will get pucks in the net.
So far, the Oilers have been throwing shots on goal in an attempt to get one lucky bounce. Edmonton is a team that can’t rely on luck; therefore, they need to make set plays in order to truly be able to score.
