EDMONTON — There are some nights where you wonder, ‘Damn, we led that game three times but lost, somehow. How did that happen?’
This game, a 4-3 Edmonton Oilers loss at the hands of the Minnesota Wild, was not one of those. Edmonton’s power play went 0-for-5 while the Wild’s went 3-for-3.
End of story.
“Five-on-five, we were the better team throughout the game. We created more, I thought,” said Leon Draisaitl. Connor McDavid concurred: “We were the better team, five-on-five.”
