Cam Fowler<\/a> had a goal and an assist, Pius Suter<\/a>\u00a0scored, and Joel Hofer<\/a>\u00a0made 36 saves for the Blues (27-29-10), who were coming off a 3-1 win at the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday and extended their point streak to seven games (6-0-1).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fun. It wasn\u2019t exactly the way that we drew it up, but I\u2019m proud of our guys,\u201d Fowler said. \u201cWe continue to fight against a really good team that needed the points and was desperate, and we just hung in there, got a couple goals and had a big shot by ‘Tommer’ there in overtime to seal the deal. Just an overall good effort by everyone staying in the game and staying in the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Connor McDavid<\/a> and Kasperi Kapanen<\/a> scored, and Connor Ingram<\/a>\u00a0made 22 saves for the Oilers (32-26-9), who lost 7-2 at the Dallas Stars on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it could have went much better for us in the first 40 minutes and in the third with a nice lead,\u201d Edmonton coach Kris Knoblauch said. \u201cThey got their goal, and we got a little nervous and backed in a little bit. Obviously, they had a strong push, and it\u2019s unfortunate that it could have been an outstanding road trip getting three out of the four, but losing and only getting one point in the last two games is disappointing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a scoreless first period, the Oilers were pressuring heavily in the second period, and Kapanen finally put Edmonton ahead 1-0 at 15:41 when he took Leon Draisaitl<\/a>\u2019s backhand pass out of the corner and beat\u00a0Hofer with a wrist shot. Draisaitl’s assist on the play\u00a0extended his point streak to eight games (five goals, 11 assists).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam Fowler had a goal and an assist, Pius Suter\u00a0scored, and Joel Hofer\u00a0made 36 saves for the Blues…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[49,48,23752],"class_list":{"0":"post-535487","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edmonton","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-edmonton"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535487","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=535487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
