EDMONTON, AB \u2013 Two huge points delivered.<\/p>\n
The Edmonton Oilers held on in the third period to earn two massive points in the race for first place in the Pacific Division on Saturday in a 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks at Rogers Place.<\/p>\n
After Connor McDavid opened the scoring 7:36 into the middle frame, the Oilers would score twice in 1:11 early in the third period through Jack Roslovic’s 20th and Matt Savoie’s 14th of the campaign before the Ducks responded with two quick goals of their own, making it 3-2 off tallies from\u00a0Beckett Sennecke and Cutter Gauthier.<\/p>\n
But the Oilers showed their defensive resolve in the final half of the final frame, with netminder Connor Ingram finishing with 29 saves and Zach Hyman adding an empty-netter to pull the Oilers within three points of the Ducks for first place in the Pacific.<\/p>\n
The Oilers will continue their push for a Pacific\u00a0title on Tuesday when they host another divisional opponent in the Seattle Kraken at Rogers Place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EDMONTON, AB \u2013 Two huge points delivered.
