Pretty uneventful game to say the least. Skinner all though not really tested pretty solid game. All you can all. Sha better way to go into the break....

I don't think the Oilers played well in this one by any stretch of the imagination(don't think they've been playing all that well for a few games actually), thankfully Ottawa was much worse. I was almost frustrated on behalf of the Senators with how bad they were at exiting their own zone with possession, the Oilers really should have won this game by 5+ goals considering how many times Ottawa got intercepted and stripped trying to get past their own blueline, that defense just straight up wilts under the slightest forechecking pressure.

Even when they started to play with more desperation in the final 10 minutes, they mostly resorted to attempting hero plays where one guy tries to go through 3 Oiler defenders. One of the easier nights Skinner has had in a while for sure, even when the Sens would cobble together some offensive pressure, they'd miss by miles.

I've never seen two players more incapable of getting an EN point than McDavid and Draisaitl. It's actually scary how bad they are at this.
Is this actually a criticism? The #1 job in an empty net situation is not getting scored on. Its the only job you're really out there to do.

Holy Sens with an awful game. One scoring chance per period, they were down 2 goals and didn't get a SOG until 12mins into third period. Laughable.

We had as many goals as Sens had scoring chances and we should have potted twice as many.

I wouldn't be so hard on Sens but they've NEVER played us well. Can't even play the youth card anymore like they were in Covid North division season where we beat them 9X in 9 games.

To say we;'re in the sens head is understatement. Its like a Tyson in prime fight. The fight is won before the first round.

Last 17 games between these two clubs Edmonton is 14-2-1.

Its Oilers vs baby seals almost every time.
