The Edmonton Oilers looked to bounce back after seeing their streak come to an end versus the Vegas Golden Knights. After stringing 16 wins in a row—in which Edmonton was historically dominant—the Oilers looked to immediately get back to winning ways. They did exactly that and reached the 30-win mark on the season in just 47 games.
Charts and observations from the win are below!

All situations Corsi
- The Oilers separated themselves from Anaheim in terms of shots attempts to start the second period and it stayed that way the rest of the game.
- Edmonton had the better share of high-danger shots.
- The Oilers’ defence was also good at preventing Anaheim from getting too many chances as well.
5v5 Corsi
- The Ducks went a long stretch in the game without much 5v5 offence at all, from the midpoint of the first period all the way to the end of the second period.
- The Oiler’s getting two 5v5 goals in the second was massive for the team as they were both game-tying goals.
- The amount of high-danger shots the Oilers got at 5v5 seems too good to be true but that’s just how effective the Oilers have been all season long.
- Again, the Ducks weren’t able to muster much offence at all, and Calvin Pickard was solid against most shots faced.
