Adversity has never been far from this Oilers team, but they always seem to rise to the occasion when needed, confident that their experience in such situations can help them correct the mistakes from Friday\u2019s Game 3 defeat in Orange County.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels like when our backs are up against the wall, that\u2019s when we kind of shine,\u201d Evan Bouchard said. \u201cIt’s not a recipe for success, but it\u2019s good to know that we have that pushback and we can get back into games and series.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we just need to focus on what we did well these three games and clean up defensively, and I think we’ll be fine,\u201d Vasily Podkolzin said. \u201cThese guys have been there multiple times, and they know what to do. Obviously, tomorrow is a huge game for us.<\/p>\n
The Oilers could get a boost from the return of Jason Dickinson for Game 4 after he was deemed a game-time decision by Head Coach Kris Knoblauch following his full participation in Saturday\u2019s practice at the Honda Center.<\/p>\n
Knoblauch said he hadn\u2019t yet decided on a starting goalie for Game 4, with Tristan Jarry potentially getting an opportunity over Connor Ingram, who\u2019s 1-2-0 with a 4.70 GAA and .849 save percentage after allowing six goals on 38 shots in Game 3 on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday in the NHL, very rarely do you have one goalie play all the games in the playoffs,\u201d Knoblauch said. \u201c20 years ago and before that, it was unheard of to be swapping goalies, but we got two good goalies that we feel confident that they can both play. Going into the playoffs, we felt that there was going to be a time when we’re going to have to make a switch. So whether that’s for game four or game five, whatever it is, we have confidence in both.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adversity has never been far from this Oilers team, but they always seem to rise to the occasion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[49,48,23752],"class_list":["post-629260","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\/629260","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=629260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
