Edmonton assistant coach Mark Stuart has Oilers’ penalty killers performing at high level
Edmonton Oilers celebrate the win over the Dallas Stars in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals in Edmonton on June 2, 2024.The Oilers reached their first Stanley Cup final in 18 years in no small measure to a stingy penalty kill that hasn’t given up a goal in their past 10 playoff games, and kept a clean sheet in 28 straight short-handed situations.
“The penalty kill, when I got here, was struggling,” said Knoblauch, who took over for the fired Jay Woodcroft in November when the Oilers were 3-9-1. Edmonton heads into the Cup final with a power-play clicking at 37.3 per cent and a kill operating at 93.9 per cent.Stuart, a former defenceman who played 673 NHL games with Boston, Atlanta and Winnipeg, is in his second season as Edmonton’s assistant coach.
