Edmonton was able to respond quickly more than once to Utah’s attempts at erasing its 3-1 lead in the first period after Curtis Lazar scored just 11 seconds following\u00a0J.J. Peterka’s opening goal in the first two minutes of the opening frame.<\/p>\n
“We had a few leads tonight, and they were able to respond very quickly,” Knoblauch said. “I guess the one lead they had, we responded very quickly, too. \u00a0But I guess it was a game neither team wanted to run away with. \u00a0But it’s unfortunate. It was nice to see the offence was there; we had the goals, but just too many chances against.”<\/p>\n
Despite a power-play goal from Connor McDavid and Vasily Podkolzin putting them ahead again less than a minute after the Mammoth tied it up at 3-3, Utah would square it before the second intermission on Nick Schmaltz’s shorthanded tally with his second of the game in the last minute of the stanza.<\/p>\n
Colton Dach scored his first Oilers goal early in the third, but the Mammoth tied it on a tip-in from Alexander Kerfoot before winning it through Clayton Keller on the power play in overtime after Matt\u00a0Savoie was called for tripping early in the extra period.<\/p>\n
“It felt good to be back with the guys and be back in the locker room and contribute,” Dach said. “But at the end of the day, we need to find a way to get the two points.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edmonton was able to respond quickly more than once to Utah’s attempts at erasing its 3-1 lead in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590045,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[49,48,23752],"class_list":["post-590044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-edmonton","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-edmonton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590044","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=590044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590044\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
