CBHT - Thursday, May 23, 2024 - 10:00 p.m. (ET) - Segment #1

nurse across with ceci on this shift, janmark unable to take the bouncing puck and off a change. Here comes dallas, and the shot right on skinner. From dadonov. Here's dadonov battling for a puck along with johnston, and janmark intercepts and heads north. Trying to get a give and go from connor brown, and that was intercepted. Stolen here but cody ceci able to regroup. Janmark checked at the line, and now flipped in deep and that's too far for dadonov. >> Craig: I think that was going to be icing there. Instead skinner went to play it so all waved off. >> Chris: and almost a giveaway on the handoff. Benn the hot shot whistles past the year of skinner and away goes draisaitl. Here is draisaitl over the line. Kane goes to the net. Evander kane taken out by heiskanen along the end boards, and benn will give it back to his star defenceman. Up at centre where pavelski turns. On to the left side. Here's harley losing his footing. 55 against 55 as holloway was there for the oilers. Draisaitl neatly took that pass off his skate. Tried to feed ekholm, and that's broken up by marchment. >> Craig: good hand-eye there by marchment, that had a chance. Ekholm had two bodies in front and a clear path to get that puck to the net if it got to him. >> Chris: now up ahead it goes to pavelski. Just one goal so far in this postseason. Away goes ekholm, able to get that in deep. Oettinger out to play it for tanev. Off the boards, and here's pavelski. Handing it off to duchene with marchment. Matt duchene for pavelski, fanned on that. Duchene along the boards. Tried to centre it, away goes mcdavid. Connor mcdavid slowed up by the good stick of lindell. Suter around and nugent-hopkins is there. Played past ceci, and back into the oilers zone. Under three and a half left here in the second period. Up off the boards, deflected by mcdavid who will try and track it down deep. Ryan suter there. Kept alive by nugent-hopkins. Stankoven looking to work it out, desharnais back for mcdavid. Out against suter and lindell. Up the boards, and all the way down and desharnais, going to say no icing and skinner's going to put a glove on that and get a whistle. >> Craig: yeah, that's a big play too. Not only was it not called icing because desharnais didn't go after it, because stuart skinner held on to it, now the oilers don't get to change. Here's the good hard shot in front, the rebound there, and you said mcleod trying trying desperately to get something going offensively. No icing, waved off, but on this play just stuart skinner felt I don't want it give it anywhere. And that's a quick decision but it's one now that gives the dallas stars a chance to get the line out they want, and the oilers a little bit of a, I guess the most extended is zach hyman and he's taking as long as he can to get to the faceoff dot. >> Chris: shots 14-12 in favour of dallas. But the oilers have an edge, 30-26 in shot attempts. And a one-goal lead. And off the draw! A chance, and that one blocked in front. Mcleod after it, able to work it ahead, and hyman on it at centre for mcleod, with foegele. Dropped for nurse, right on and that'll stick to the crest of oettinger.

Contact DominionLending Centres. >> Kyle: top performer brought to you by the gmc sierra, there are trucks and then there is the truck. We have all heard of the term hot stick. Leon draisaitl took it literally at the start of this period, a lighter to the top end of his cue, then brought the heat a few minutes later. The hot stick delivered to give the oilers the first goal of the series, first of two goals so far in this period, and the hot streak continues for edmonton's number 29, chris. >> Chris: remarkably up to 25 points now, and 75 points in the last three postseasons. Connor mcdavid at 75 as well. >> Craig: again, of that 13-game streak, 9 of those are multi-point games, and he just continues to be one of the best playoff performers not just in the last couple years but points per game all-time. >> Chris: let me update, connor mcdavid's at 76 points now, a pair of assists in this game. Skinner bats that away, puck flipped ahead and jamie benn there with dadonov trying to stuff that. A centering pass! Seguin comes close again! Benn and seguin the two senior dallas stars, a handful right now! Here's dadonov centring! In the blue paint! And it comes loose, and it's claimed by draisaitl who works it out. So that line is starting to give edmonton some trouble. >> Craig: and right around the net, the cycles from down below, win the puck battles and crash the front of the net. >> Chris: here's tanev on to the right side, smith watched by ekholm, and faksa comes close. He's knocked down by draisaitl who starts back ahead for kane, red line and in at the end of a shift for both kane and draisaitl. Up off the stick of smith with 92 seconds remaining here in the second. Mattias ekholm will reverse it, and bouchard's got a little room. Faksa lost his helmet, has to go to the bench. >> Craig: too many men. >> Chris: and now play called. >> Craig: marchment came on too quickly as faksa had no helmet on on the heels of another good shift by this seguin line. They had two great chances in tight from behind the net. It's the quick little pass to the slot, one save there, bouncing puck for dadonov not able to handle it. And then a second one right through the crease, good box out by holloway. But an the change by faksa, marchment jumps on too quickly, gets involved in the play, and it's a too many men. You just gotta give some time to get back. That's not the play there, but when the helmet came off and faksa was going to the bench, marchment jumped out too early. >> Chris: first power play of the night for edmonton, just 1 for 12 against dallas during the regular season. Mcdavid gets it back from bouchard. Down low, draisaitl from his slot stopped by oettinger. And it will be cleared by steel. Oilers scored one power play goal in game seven against vancouver. Final minute here of the second. Nugent-hopkins can't barge through, broken up, and faksa will clear. Oilers 7 for 19 on the road as mcdavid in! And a shot that oettinger had to be good on. >> Craig: that's one that we haven't seen a lot from mcdavid. There's been all kinds of talk about well, maybe not shooting enough, looking to pass, almost surprised oettinger there. But good position and a nice save off of the good wrister. >> Chris: asked kris knoblauch should he be shooting more, and he said well, I don't want to tell the best player in the world what to do but they would like to see a few more shots. That one was dangerous, running out of time here as the stars turn them back. And we're through two in the opening game of the western conference final, and edmonton will take a 2-1 lead to the

dressing room. Leon draisaitl opened the scoring, zach hyman followed 3:19 later. Connor mcdavid a pair of assists. And then an answer from tyler seguin. So 2-1 after 40 minutes. Ron, rick bowness, and company coming up in our second intermission. [ ] Witness nhl historyas the leagues future starstake center stage at Sphere, the most extraordinaryvenue in Vegas.

Luke gazdic, kevin bieksa, and rick bowness in studio for the next couple of night. Kevin go ahead and explain how the goals worked. >> Kevin: he taught me the defencemens are the smartest on the ice and the forwards not so much. Sometimes there's a lapse in communication and it happens on the goal here. There's a bit of a misread and bad fortune. Pavelski, technically his responsibility is the weak side defenceman kulak but draisaitl is in the high ice. That's a shared responsibility. So you're going to notice he's more aware of draisaitl. He does a bit of a head check to kulak but draisaitl is the main priority.
