Edmonton Oilers down Montreal Canadiens at Rogers Place
The Edmonton Oilers hosted the Montreal Canadiens at Rogers Place on Tuesday night. The hosts came out on top, handing the Habs a 3-2 overtime defeat.
Connor McDavid opened the scoring at 9:20 of the first period. This was the only goal scored in the period. The recently acquired Adam Henrique extended the hosts' lead to 2-0, as he tapped in a centering pass from Mattias Ekholm at 14:55 of the second period.
Just 32 seconds into the third period, Nick Suzuki cut Edmonton's lead to 2-1 after scoring on Juraj Slafkovsky's centering pass. At 4:43, Kaden Guhle completed the comeback for the Canadiens as his goal tied the game at 2-2, forcing overtime.
The Edmonton Oilers capitalized on the powerplay in overtime, with Leon Draisaitl scoring the winner for the hosts at 3:18.
In the post-game interview, Draisaitl said (NHL.com):
"They’re a team that has nothing to lose and lots of skill,” Draisaitl said. “We would have liked to have handled that third period better, but sometimes that’s just the way it goes. We’ll take it.
“It is dangerous and in the past we’ve found ways to lose those games, we would kind of let the frustration sink in a little bit. We’ll take the two points, but obviously there is lots to do better.”
Mattias Ekholm and McDavid collected two points apiece, while Draisaitl and Henrique notched up a goal apiece in the matchup. Connor Pickard was solid between the pipes and ended the contest with 23 saves and an SV% of .920.
Edmonton will face the Buffalo Sabres next on Thursday.
