"We believe in this group," James Reimer said after the win. "There are going to be momentum swings. That's how it is. That's how hockey is. You just stick with your game plan and trust it. If you execute, dig in and want it, usually it's yours."
The Opposition
The Connor McDavid-less Oilers were in action on Saturday afternoon in South Florida, as they tallied their 31st win of the season in a 4-1 final again the Florida Panthers. Leon Draisaitl's 33rd goal of the season, scored just 13 seconds into the third period, held up as the game-winner, while Mikko Koskinen made 33 saves. The Oilers currently occupy second place in the Pacific Division with 68 points in 58 games.
"They still have one of the best players in the game," Brind'Amour said, in reference to Draisaitl. "Now, they have to start relying on some other guys a little bit who have maybe not had the opportunity, but they have a lot of talent on that team. Right now, it isn't so much about the other teams we're playing because they're all good."
