<\/p>\nFrederik Andersen only needed to make 13 stops to earn the win in the Carolina net.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve obviously got some very good players and we did a really good job of containing them,\u201d said the veteran goalie. \u201cThey\u2019ve got a lot of speed when they carry the puck up the middle, the D did a hell of a job containing (Connor) McDavid a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The only downside to the night was that the team lost Gostisbehere to an undisclosed injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s obviously not good, he\u2019s kind of been dealing with stuff, I feel like, all year,\u201d said Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour. \u201cJust when he kind of gets rolling, he keeps getting nicked up. So, I don\u2019t really have an update at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brind\u2019Amour was impressed with how the rest of the defence stepped up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose guys really dug in,\u201d he said. \u201cWe lose \u2018Ghost\u2019 and we\u2019re down to five, and are really playing four for the most part, it\u2019s a lot to ask against that team and thought they did just a great job. They didn\u2019t have a lot of chances and didn\u2019t have a ton of shots, so we were doing a pretty good job.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hurricanes did make one minor deal on trade deadline day, acquiring bruising 35-year-old forward Nicolas Deslauriers from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2027.<\/p>\n
Deslauriers has dressed in 24 games for the Flyers this season, recording one assist and 33 penalty minutes.<\/p>\n
Zach Hyman had a pair of goals and Vasily Podkolzin also replied for the Oilers (30-25-8), who have lost six of their last eight. Edmonton has allowed 56 goals in its last 12 games.<\/p>\n
Tristan Jarry managed 26 saves in the loss for Edmonton.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously we need to find it and put together wins,\u201d said Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch. \u201cWe\u2019ve only got 20 games left and we\u2019re on the brink of not making the playoffs. We can\u2019t wait to find our game in the playoffs because we need to ultimately get there. We need to find another gear.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Oilers have had 10 home games this season with a save percentage below .840, an NHL high.<\/p>\n
