This club is primed and ready to make a run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which start 19 days after their showdown on Monday.
Saturday Night, the Oilers pummeled the lowly Anaheim Ducks 6-1. Superstar Connor McDavid scored a pair of goals and added an assist while forward Leon Draisaitl picked up two assists. Former Duck Adam Henrique scored against his former club while backup goaltender Calvin Pickard earned his eleventh win of the season. He stopped 21 of 22 Anaheim shots faced in the contest.
Turning Blue in St. Louis?
The St. Louis Blues are sliding back down in the Western Conference Wild Card race. If they lose on Monday at home, many locals will turn their attention to their beloved St. Louis Cardinals baseball team instead. The NHL season comes to a close soon.
The Blues have 82 points heading into Monday’s contest, five points behind the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings dropped down to the final Wild Card spot thanks to a solid run of victories from the Vegas Golden Knights, one of which came at the misfortune of the Blues in a 2-1 overtime defeat.
While St. Louis rebounded to beat the Calgary Flames on Thursday, the 4-0 loss to arguably the worst team in the National Hockey League this season, the San Jose Sharks, will loom large. Sharks goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood made 35 saves for his second shutout of the season.
