Commentary
- OK, Oilers. Bring that game – the goaltending, the disciplined defense, the drive and artistry up front, the puck pressure all over the ice, against the lesser opponents you will soon be facing – and you will turn this season around in a hurry. Honest. Just do it.
- The turn north, is coming folks. It’s slow, and it hurts to watch at times, but it’s coming. Dress warm.
- Man, speaking of cold – that Kane/Panarin/Anisimov line is a trio of stone cold killers.

Players
By this measure, Fayne and Klefbom let in the most dangerous chances. Suspect they spent a lot of time against Kane & co.

TMc left his pairings very stable tonight. Almost no blender.

I drop pairings with less than 2:00 min TOI, but these are what cause the difference between the individuals and the main pairings.
