The Edmonton Oilers fell to 2-7-1 as they hit double digits in games on the schedule. Here is how the men separated themselves from the boys in Saturday’s game at Rogers Place:Nashville Predators Ryan O’Reilly and Filip Forsberg combined for four goals and seven points in Saturday’s 5-2 dismantling of the home team.
The two first combined as Forsberg got things rolling on the scoreboard for Nashville and O’Reilly provided the nitrous with three more goals to remind fans in Edmonton what a dominant one-two punch looks like.Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl combined for a single assist Saturday, which is an absolute anomaly for someone who has feasted on Predators as much as Draisaitl has.
Coming into this game with 24 goals and 15 assists in 24 career games against Nashville, Draisaitl was the only player in the NHL to average a goal a game against a single team . For whatever reason, he was held pointless this time. And hasn’t scored a goal since the last time he faced the Predators eight games ago.DudsNashville backup Kevin Lankinen made 33 saves against Edmonton and was heralded by teammates as one of the big reasons for the Predators’ success Saturday.Jack Campbell was making his first start in four games and came up small more than once, including looking completely fooled on a textbook wraparound effort everyone else in the building saw coming.
