Edmonton Oilers sink Seattle Kraken
“I thought Draisaitl’s line was really good, I thought Keith and Ceci were good and I thought Mikko was good,” Oilers head coach Dave Tippett said. “We won. We were opportunistic. We capitalized on some chances and we found a way to get two points.”Draisaitl had a Tyson Barrie point shot deflect in off his skate. The Kraken’s Jaden Schwartz replied by splitting the Oilers’ defence and whacking a backhand under goaltender Mikko Koskinen.
“A couple good players there with the assist, so that was pretty special. Obviously, I don’t think it was our best game overall, but good teams find a way to win, and we did that tonight. I’m proud and grateful to be a part of this organization,” Keith said. Seattle Kraken’s Adam Larsson skates past as Edmonton Oilers’ Duncan Keith and Leon Draisaitl celebrate a goal during second period NHL action in Edmonton, Monday, Nov. 1, 2021.Carson Soucy joined the rush and brought the Kraken back within a goal with 1:20 left in the frame.Former Oiler Jordan Eberle had a breakaway two-and-a-half minutes into the third but was denied by Koskinen.“He was phenomenal between the pipes. He made a lot of big saves at a lot of crucial times,” Yamamoto said.
“Any time you start the season without a goal in seven games, you start to worry a little bit,” Yamamoto said. “Over the last couple games, I definitely thought I’ve played a lot better hockey, but were just telling me to get to the net and keep shooting, and eventually, it’ll come.” “He’s doing some things you like in the game — he always works, he’s competitive — but at some point, you’ve got to start finding results,” Tippett said. “It’s good to see him get on the board. Hopefully, that will loosen up the grip on his stick a little bit.”Oilers captain Connor McDavid had an assist to extend his point streak to eight games.– With files from 630 CHED’s Brenden Escott
