This in from Tony Brar of Oilers TV at the Edmonton Oilers practice today, news that Edmonton’s newest folk hero, winger Corey Perry, has been promoted to the top line to play with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Maple Leafs edged out the Oilers 4-3 in overtime during their previous meeting on Nov. 16 at Scotiabank Arena after Leon Draisaitl’s tying goal with 1:29 in regulation forced overtime before Mitch Marner earned Toronto the extra point with the winner only 40 seconds into sudden death.
If Klingberg assuages the Oilers’ No. 1 need coming out of training camp — a right-handed Top 4 defenceman — then Edmonton’s trade capital can be spent elsewhere at the March 7 trade deadline. Quite likely on a left winger to play next to Leon Draisaitl, one with superior offensive capabilities to what Vasily Podkolzin provides.
She fits in there just fine, Ziggy is just trying to make me look bad. We watched the game together last night, and the doggo felt Edmonton should have won the game but several veteran wingers bobbled chances.
It did not go well. The Oilers only managed to get one shot on net in two opportunities, while the Detroit Red Wings scored on both of theirs. Just like that, a 2-0 first-period lead turned into a 3-2 shootout loss.
