GDT: Game #68: Utah @ Edmonton | 7:00pm MDT | ESPN, SN1, TVAS

[Hogan20]

Just win baby. This is Utah's last nationally televised game (they do play Florida on NHLN March 28th but I'm guessing most people don't have/use NHLN). Utah comes into tonight's game just 2 points back of Vancouver for the final wild card spot. There are 2 teams in between them (Calgary and St. Louis) and everyone is in action tonight. Flames are in New York taking on the Rangers at 5:00pm MDT, St. Louis is in Nashville starting at 6:00pm MDT and the Canucks are hosting the Jets at 8:00pm MDT tonight.

This is the third matchup of the season between the Oilers and the Hockey Club.
Game 1 (Edmonton 4-3):


Game 2 (Edmonton 4-1):


Last 10 Games:
Utah is 6-2-2 (1 game winning streak)
Edmonton is 5-5-0 (2 game winning streak)

Projected Staters:
Edmonton - Stuart Skinner 23-17-4, 2.84 GAA, .897 SV%)
Utah - Karel Vejmelka (19-17-6, 2.45 GAA, .909 SV%)

Will be a very tough game but we kinda have the Oilers number

We did have it at one point. I'm afraid we used all our magic to win the last game as the Coyotes and the Oilers will just stream roll us tonight.

Need to put a lot of pucks on net, Skinner played well against the Rangers but he is definitely not the definition of a consistent goaltender.

 

[TheLegend]

Looks like the same line up

Cooley <----> Kerfoot

I like re-uniting Cooley and Guenther, but I trust Hayton more on the top line than I do Kerfoot.

Ryan Rishaug says that Pickard will be starting. However, your point still stands just saying the same thing about Pickard instead of Skinner.

I get a bad feeling about this game. If Utah somehow manages a win I will be surprised and optimistic wrt playoffs

7pm local (Utah), 6pm for Arizona. We're 1 hour behind right now.

 

[Chel Guy]

We desperately need a 1C. A legit playoff team doesn't have Kerfoot as their #1 centre...

I hope I didn't jinx us, just bet $100 to win $140.....

Veggie saving us so far.

I don't like that we're on ESPN.

Bad signal.... bad sound.... yep. Both PxP people are motor mouths.......

TNT does the national broadcasts way better. The biggest gripe I have about ESPN games is that they act like they're allergic to putting the arena volume at an acceptable level, so it makes me feel like I'm watching the 2020 playoffs again.

 

[TheLegend]

Bad shortie.......

 

[Summer Rose]

Sigh...

Can always count on Sergi to make the mistake (again) that winds up in our net

Sergachev may have been the one who "finished" giving up that shorthanded goal against, but Guenther is the one who started it with that terrible drop pass.

We just don’t belong on the same ice .. it’s a game of mistakes and we make more thsn
Most teams
