Highlights from Yesterday
The away team in the 2023 playoffs thus far has gone 36-23-3, winning 58% of all games
Jack Eichel had a goal and 2 assists, Marchessault scored twice in a big 5-1 win vs the Oilers in Edmonton
For the 2nd game of the series, and 4th game of the playoffs, the Oilers were held to under 30 shots on goal (Oilers averaged 33.6 SOG per game in the regular season, 6th in the league)
Adin Hill stepped in mid game and made 24 saves, allowed 0 goals
VGK has a Solution
Vegas was able to limit Edmonton to just 28 SOG in Game 3 and 27 in Game 1. Though they did score 9 in the first 2 games, the Oilers only scored 1 last night in Game 3. While players for the Knights are stepping up their SOG in Round 2, like Stephenson, Eichel, and Marchessault, they are equally limiting the Oilers' chances. Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Evander Kane have lower SOG per 60 in Round 2 (so far) than in Round 1.
