THE SCOOP:After a powerful start from the home San Jose Sharks, lifted by their raucous fans in The Shark Tank, the Oilers started to push back and enjoyed very successful second and third periods on the way to a tight 1-0 victory over San Jose. With the win, the Oilers take a 2-1 series lead over the Sharks.
PLAY OF THE GAME:
Cam Talbot
made a litany of big saves but the play of the game is simply the big goal. David Schlemko gave the puck away within the Sharks zone right onto the stick of
Zack Kassian
, who backhanded it past Martin Jones to put the Oilers in front by one.
FIRST STAR:Who else but Kassian? Once again the hero comes through with a huge goal midway through the third period.
TRENDING UP:
Anton Slepyshev
opened the game providing a huge spark on the fourth line and it prompted Oilers head coach Todd McLellan to move him to the top line alongside
Connor McDavid
and
Pat Maroon
.
Leon Draisaitl
moved to centre between
Drake Caggiula
and Zack Kassian while
Mark Letestu
shifted to wing alongside
David Desharnais
and Benoit Pouliot.
