POST-GAME UPDATES
Inside The Oilers Blog
Mikko Koskinen made 24 saves for his third shutout of the season, and Connor McDavid provided the lone goal in the first period as the Oilers downed the Calgary Flames 1-0 at Rogers Place on Sunday night.
The Finnish netminder improves to 6-0-0 at home and helps stretch the Oilers win streak to five at Rogers Place. Calgary's win streak is halted at five with the defeat.
The Flames had won nine of their last 11 coming into tonight's game, outscoring opponents 49-23 in that span before tonight's blank.
"I think we've done a good job sticking with it," forward Milan Lucic, who dropped the gloves in a tilt with Anthony Peluso during the opening frame, said post-game. "Last time we played them we let the game get away from us against the best third-period team in the league, and today we were able to stick with it for 60 minutes.
"Mikko made some big saves, and all we needed was one tonight."
The Oilers improve to 11-1-2 in one-goal games and 7-2-1 in the Ken Hitchcock era.
"We kept our emotions in check, played a hard game, and didn't cross the line," McDavid said. "It's a one-goal league, you have to find a way to win these tight games, and we've been doing a good job ending up on the right side of the score."
The Oilers top line linked up 12:18 into the opening frame for the night's opening goal when Chiasson connected with McDavid for the Oilers captain to one-time home his 16th goal of the season past David Rittich. The tally was McDavid's 11th goal and 17th point in 11 games against the Pacific rivals.
