Cam Talbot, their starting goaltender had a very respectable record this season: in 54 games played, he was 27-20-7 with a SV% of .913 and a GAA statistic of 2.50. He pitched three shutouts. Decent statistics in a high scoring season like this year.
They are overall a very good defensive minded team. They play within their strengths. But their strong team defense goes to waste because of lack of discipline, they take too many penalties and predictably, they can’t find ways to stop this very productive oilers powerplay stacked with generational elite talent.
