The EdmontonOilers triumphed over the NHLFlames in another fiery BattleOfAlberta.
Kailer Yamamoto had a goal and an assist for the Oilers , who have won two straight games since losing 4-3 in a shootout at home to the Flames on Wednesday.
Mikko Koskinen played the final 20:24 of the game in net for the Oilers and stopped all eight shots he faced. The Oilers opened the scoring 29 seconds into the game when Yamamoto picked up a rebound and slid a shot past a sprawling Rittich. Robinson pulled Calgary within a goal at 12:42 of the first when he took a pass from Gaudreau before chipping the puck up and over Smith’s right pad and into the net. It was his first goal as a Flame and first since scoring against the Florida Panthers as a member of the Ottawa Senators on Apr. 17, 2016.
The Flames fought back within a goal as Tkachuk beat Smith off a feed from Andrew Mangiapane at 4:35 of the second, before Lindholm banked the puck off the Oilers netminder’s leg and into the net from behind the goal line at 10:14. Tempers flared with 24 seconds left before the second intermission when Gagner poked a puck that was under Talbot into the net.
