Koskinen denied the victory
Mikko Koskisen The Edmonton Oilers took the victory from the Washington Capitals 4-3 in their home trough. Koskinen blocked 29 shots in the match.
The opening round of the match was undefeated, but in another by Washington Nicklas Bäckström opened the goal account soon after the start of the second installment. However, the 1-0 lead was not far, and ten minutes later the hosts came along and weighed in at the end of the batch.
In the third installment TJ Oshie leveled the accounts, but the home team managed to take the lead again. However, Oshie’s second success in the final seconds of the round took the match to extra time.
The final scores hit Connor McDavidwhen the overtime was behind for about three and a half minutes.
The hardest scorer of the match was three-point Oshie, who scored two goals in addition to Bäckström’s opening goal. Bäckström was in turn helping Oshieta with his first goal.
With his victory, Edmonton cut his own three-loss streak and at the same time put a stop to Washington’s three-win series.
The audience buzzed with Ovetshkin
A Russian player in Washington Alexander Ovetshkin has been in the headlines lately for both good and evil.
The Capitals superstar rose to third place in the NHL hockey league’s all-time goal scorer in the club’s previous match. Ovetshkin also scored two goals when Washington won the Calgary away 5-4.
Ovetshkin, 36, now has a total of 766 NHL regular season goals, as many as the Czech legend Jaromir Jagrilla. In the statistics above, there are no more Canadian puck icons Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe.
In Edmonton, Ovetshkin was on the ice for a total of nearly 21 and a half minutes, but missed power points and didn’t get past Jagr.
While in the trough, Ovetshkin was once again the target of booms. The reason for the sore reception is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Ovetshkin has also become known as the President of Russia Vladimir Putin as a supporter and also received a boom in Calgary.
The reaction of the home audience to the Russian performance was in itself to be expected, as Edmonton is home to more Ukrainian-origin people than anywhere else in Canada.
