Disastrous Missed Opportunities: How the Oilers’ Collapse in Detroit Unfolded Behind the Scenes
The top line came out for the Oilers and, on successive sequences, turned the puck over again at the offensive blue line. The game was going 12 minutes without a whistle, meaning time was starting to run out for the Oilers. Draisaitl had a breakaway and lost the handle on the puck.
The Oilers pulled Skinner, and the Red Wings scored to make it 4-2. Finnie got his second of the game.
Final Takeaways:
The Oilers found some urgency in the last half of the third period, but it was too late. The execution, outside of the Draisaitl goal, just wasn’t there.
