Holloway scored the tying goal and Campbell made 34 stops as the Edmonton Oilers rallied late to win 2-1 in overtime over the Calgary Flames in pre-season action.
The winning goal for Edmonton was notched by Brad Malone on a breakaway, who took a pass from Seth Griffith, went to his backhand, and slipped the puck through Dan Vladar's pads at 2:24.
Campbell won 21 games last season, but struggled to a .888 save percentage last in the first season of a five-year, $25 million deal he signed as a free agent. Come the playoffs, he watched from the bench as rookie Stuart Skinner was handed the crease. The Calgary-born Holloway was the most noticeable Oilers skater all night. The 2020 first-round pick opened last season in Edmonton, but as he struggled to establish himself, he was sent down to the minors in mid-February and never played another NHL game.“He can skate and he's a big man, he drives people back. I think when he focuses in on those gifts that he has and plays towards those strengths, he's tough to handle,” said Woodcroft.
“Confidence is feeling good, it just comes from a lot of preparation this summer,” said Holloway. “This team's got so many good offensive players that it would obviously be hard to compete right away but eventually I want to be a player that can generate offence myself.”Making his second start, Daniel Vladar made 26 saves for Calgary.
Calgary challenged the call and when it stood after video review, they were assessed a bench minor. On that power play — the Oilers fifth of the night — and with the goalie pulled to make it a 6-on-4, Holloway fired a shot past Vladar from the slot with 1:40 to go.
