Game review

Edmonton opened with a helpless marker to score 5:28. Jeff Skinner entered the area and tore upstairs, crossing goalkeeper Connor Hellebuyck in Game 12 of the season.

Winnipeg then tied the game for 13:39 to this period. Dylan Samberg threw the puck online and the juicy rebound landed on Cole Perfetti’s tape, who undoubtedly defeated Stuart Skinner in his 15th season of the season. Therefore, the match tied for the second stage 1-1, defeating tourists only 5-4.

The Oilers entered the middle frame at 5:30. Connor McDavid entered the area at speed, circled out of the net, and found Skinner in front. His shot strayed from Nikolaj Ehlers and made his second match through Hellebuyck’s leg. Winnipeg challenged goalkeepers to interfere with the game, but the call on the ice sent Edmonton’s power.

However, after successfully killing the free throw, the Jets tied the game with a 2-to-1 sprint. The pass for Nino Niederreiter is redirected by Josh Morrissey and Edmonton’s Netminder. Like the first stage, the game was tied after two times, while Edmonton had a 13-12 advantage. McDavid was injured in the second phase and did not return, so the Oilers didn’t have two of the best players as Leon Draisaitl was not in the game.

The Jets entered the third stage with a 3:56 advantage. The hockey was thrown online and Brandon Tanev squeezed into the loose puck in the 10th season of his season.

Zach Hyman then tied for the game on the 25th of the season. Darnell Nurse’s point shot is in front, with Hyman burying the loose puck. Then for five minutes left, the Oily Network was pulled by the concussioner and replaced by Calvin Picard. However, this game will work overtime and tie for three.

In overtime, Kyle Connor won the game for Winnipeg in Game 37 of the campaign. His quick release beat the side of Pickard Blocker to secure the Jets’ 100 points this season and tied for the league lead with the Washington Capitals.

The Oilers continued to play four games against Seattle Cleken on Saturday (March 22). Meanwhile, the Jets began four games against the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday (March 23). The two teams ended their three-game season series in Winnipeg on April 13.
