Game review

The oiler opened the score again, this time Perry’s snapshot before the crease at 2:31 in the first stage.

Janmark beat Oettinger Five-Hole with a wrist shot in the 7:09 game, who doubled the lead.

At 8:07, Skinner scored a playoff goal in his first playoff goal of his career, a harsh hit that made Desmith scream.

Robertson finally put the stars on the board with his wrist shot in the middle slot, and the Oilers’ clearance attempt failed, bounced straight towards Robertson’s stick.

At 12:27 in the second stage, Sinz shot a powerful goal with his wrist and defeated again from the middle slot, defeating a huge Skinner and passing his left shoulder.

Two minutes later, McDavid scored on the break-in to restore the Oilers’ two-goal lead.

In the third phase 3, Rantanen found Robertson on the left side of the offensive zone, who slid his wrist under the left pad of Skinner to bring the stars to one.
