Skinner’s Shocking Slip-Up Seals Oilers’ Fate in Nail-Biting Shootout Defeat to Flames
Head coach Kris Knoblauch wasn’t ready to blame Skinner alone. “Turnovers,” he said when asked what happened. “As soon as we made it 3-0, we got really sloppy with the puck. Before that, I thought we were outstanding with it. That was the turning point right there.”
The Game Action
Ike Howard and David Tomasek took their “rookie” laps, seeing as it was the first game in the NHL for both players.
The first period started a bit slowly, with both sides feeling each other out. It wasn’t until a delay of game penalty on Morgan Frost that things got interesting. The Oilers made quick work of the power play as Connor McDavid passed down low to Leon Draisaitl, who hit Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in front for the goal.
