Love that shirt! Your cat looks very similar to one of my cats.
1 goal against in the past 3 games, for a GAA of 0.33, never thought I'd say that about the Oilers. But man, that 1st period was boring. 5 SOG in total, 2 for the Oilers and 3 for the Kings. No goals.
Another playoff style game and solid effort. Had an Alberta visitor with his Vietnamese wife. She is now an Oiler fan . Great game for them to see the oilers. Get some rest Patrick. Ducks to hunt next
Dude I asked you one time if you’d give up mcdavid if you knew oil would win the cup…you said no cuz you thought they’d win anyways….I’m kinda getting that feeling…
Statistics for Edmonton Oilers at Los Angeles Kings for April 4th, 2023
Starting things with my comments on the game and the three stars first. Main stats will be below that.
Odd stat day: I can't give you +/-. It's obvious they didn't calculate it right (example, Draisaitl has a goal and 2 assists, LA had 1 goal so the WORST Leon could have done is +2 yet they have him at 0, there are others that way too). I couldn't watch the game (wish I could have but not possible) so I have no idea who was on or off for the goals and I couldn't do my own stats just aggregate them from other sites. The other stats I can give, they seem accurate across multiple sites but +/- is out to lunch on this one on multiple sites (like they copy / pasted from SportsNet and SN got it very very wrong).
Changing things up a bit by going 3 stars first:
Draisaitl, Arvidsson, Nugent-Hopkins. This was a game in LA so Arvidsson got in with 1 goal. Connor (who only had one assist) took charge of this game with the boys after Arvidsson scored. He came over the boards like a man possessed and wouldn't be denied. The penalty Leon scored (honestly his one timer has to give goalies PTSD), the game winner (his league leading 11th), was inflicted on Connor (Slashing by, guess who, Arvidsson so why he's a star as he's directly responsible for the PP Game winner against LA, no clue).
The first period ended in a 3 shot for LA, 2 for the Oilers 0-0 score. You'd think the game was boring and then the other periods happened. Nuge with 2 points (Goal, Assist, 3rd Star) putting him at 99 for the season so far (with 4 games to play so yeah, he'll hit 100). Nurse with an empty netter (getting him another goal and another empty netter, he gets a fair number of those for us (because none of the rest of the guys score a lot of them (lol)).
This was a tight game. Skinner did great. Copley at the other end for LA did well too in my opinion. Honestly I would have been thrilled if the Oilers won this 1-0. As is this really tells LA (and the league) that you want to play this way, we can beat you this way too. You want it more wide open we'll annihilate your posterior. Want to play rough, Hi, this game the Oilers had 39 hits compared to LA's 23. There were far more Slashing and Roughing penalties in this game's 10 penalties (total between 2 teams, some concurrent). LA is listed at 14 Giveaways with the Oilers having ZERO (on SportsNet, 1 on NHL.COM though it's not assigned to a player so I have to say they did math wrong again so zero again). Ridiculous. LA with nearly double the blocks of Edmonton (Edmonton 9, LA 17). Edmonton beat LA in the faceoff circle (which happens pretty much never) and were 50% on the PP to improve their PP to 32.7%. While Edmonton is listed at #21 on the PK I think most of that was before January 11th because they've let in remarkably few since (other than one game against LA earlier which we will choose to expunge from our memories as a nightmare).
They played Broberg 4:16. It's like what's the point, just in case someone gets hurt and he has to fill in and isn't completely cold? Kostin played 6:23 and during that time got a penalty (not good) and 5 hits (very good). What a waste for both.
Oilers with a big 200 foot game they deserved and did win.
Enjoy the stats that follow. Bring me the Playoffs (though let me see Nuge hit 100 and Connor hit at least 66).

Die hard Leafs fan with an Oilers fan in the household so I watch every Oilers game when I can… Oilers are absolutely on a tear and look great… I like their chances in the west. Wish the Leafs were clicking like the Oil right now! Ekholm was a great addition, I'd still dump Yamamoto though, He's the Oilers Kerfoot, small and skilled but inconsistent and takes bad penalties.

Nuge!
I was there! I witnessed my favorite player LD29 score that goal with my own eyes! What a moment.
Brilliant Game Tonight Stu was excellent

Thumbs up for Henry.
