VANCOUVER — Through to the 2024 Western Conference final after their 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks in Monday's Game 7, the Edmonton Oilers also occupy the top three spots in the Stanley Cup points race.
With their playoff future on the line, Bouchard chipped in two assists, while Edmonton’s scoring came from Cody Ceci, Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Coaching in his first Stanley Cup playoffs, Kris Knoblauch singled out Nugent-Hopkins and the bottom-six forwards for successfully killing off a four-minute penalty called on Ryan McLeod late in the first period.
All told, the Oilers outshot the Canucks 29-17 in Game 7, an edge that they held in five of the seven games in the series. Their 5-1 win in Game 6 was the only multi-goal victory on either side in a battle where the margin between winning and losing was razor thin. After giving up one goal on 15 shots in his return to the net for Edmonton’s Game 6 win, Stuart Skinner faced just 17 shots in Game 7, and only five in the third period.“They were able to make plays, but just weren't able to get shots on net,” Skinner said. “I was working really hard, believe it or not. But I just didn't get a ton of shots, which is a credit to the guys in front.”
