Shooting 40 shots and winning the shot battle doesn’t mean much.

Oilers goals tonight:
1. Off Hanifin's stick on the cross ice pass
2. Quick shot from McDavid with Markstrom out of position after missing the rim
3. Bounce off Hymen's skate after McDavid no look passed it into the slot
The Oiler's tonight were the antithesis of high danger and their goals came off putting pucks on net.
There's a lot of luck in hockey, both ways and tonight we were on the wrong end of a few bounces.
