Weegar tied it 1-1 at 15:58, sending a slap shot that deflected in off Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we let their top guys have too much room out there,\u201d Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau<\/a> said. \u201cWe know they\u2019re unbelievable players, but you can\u2019t let them have it that easy. They have a really good power play and we took too many penalties as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Draisaitl\u2019s first power-play goal put the Oilers back ahead 2-1 at 19:43. Hyman took the rebound off a shot by McDavid and sent a back pass across the crease for Draisaitl to put into the open net behind Wolf.<\/p>\n

Draisaitl extended it to 3-1 on the power play at 1:59 of the second period, taking a centering pass from McDavid into the slot and scoring stick side on Wolf.<\/p>\n

Hyman pushed it to 4-1 at 11:56, scoring off a 2-on-1 rush on a pass from McDavid that he stuffed in point blank.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, they are two of the best players in the world,\u201d Hyman said of McDavid and Draisaitl. \u201cThey drive our team. When they are playing like that it makes it easier for the rest of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Draisaitl made it 5-1 with his third power-play goal at 5:38 of the third period. McDavid drove to the net and Hyman came up with the rebound, which he slid through a crowded net front to Draisaitl for the backdoor finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey came out with a lot more intensity than us,\u201d Calgary defenseman Kevin Bahl<\/a> said. \u201cOur keeper was excellent, and we have lots to learn from there, and we have to be a lot better.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we could have shut down their power play, I think we could have given ourselves a good shot in that game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Weegar tied it 1-1 at 15:58, sending a slap shot that deflected in off Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365674,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-365673","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365673\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
