Oilers Drop Wild Game, Tied for Division Lead

0:00On April 8th, on Tuesday night, April 7th, the Edmonton Oilers grabbed a point, but dropped a wild six to five overtime decision to the Utah. Mammoth. It was Utah's first victory over Edmonton in their six meetings this season, in a game packed with goals from both sides. Tristan Jerry had another rough night in net for the Oilers, stopping just 25 of 31 shots for a wheat.806 save, percentage. That trade from Pittsburgh, sending Stuart Skinner the other way, looks worse by the day. Jerry's pricier, longer term, and not matching skinners. Level. Brightside. Every Oilers line chipped in offensively, with 13 players getting points. Without Zach Hyman and Leon Drizidal, depth guys like Colton Doc and Curtis Lazar delivered Big Doc scored the go-ahead goal in the third, and Lazar tied a quick early on. After jumping to a five to four lead, just over two minutes into the third, Edmonton sat back too much, got pinned in their zone, and couldn't handle.

1:01Utah's push, that led Clayton Keller snagged the overtime winner. Now the Oilers sit tied with the Vegas Golden Knights at 88 points atop the Pacific Division, holding the tiebreaker with four games. Left they faced the San Jose Sharks tomorrow night, April 8th, in a race that's heating up fast. That wraps NHL News today, brought to you with AI.
