OVERTIME<\/p>\n
Overtime saw the Oilers apply relentless pressure, but the Blues were the ones to find a way late to win it.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, they had a strong push, and yeah, it’s unfortunate,” Knoblauch said. “It could’ve been an outstanding end to the road trip, getting three out of the four, but getting only one point in the last two games is disappointing for us.<\/p>\n
The Oilers couldn’t convert during their longest stretch of possession in the St. Louis zone as overtime entered its late stages, with Evan Bouchard having a chance that left the puck perilously loose in the crease, which no one could find to put home.<\/p>\n
“We had the puck the most of the time, but in three-on-three, it’s always a counterattack,” Knoblauch said. “You can have that possession, you can have the opportunities, but eventually, it ends up going back and forth.<\/p>\n
That led to St. Louis countering up ice, and with only 10 seconds left in overtime, Robert Thomas ended the game with a shot that went in off the right post from the circle, completing\u00a0the Blues’ comeback.<\/p>\n
“But we played well today, too,” Kapanen said. “I think the first two periods, we were playing extremely well, and even in the third, we had some chances and a good push.<\/p>\n
“It sucks right now, but we just gotta\u00a0forget this one and move on.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OVERTIME Overtime saw the Oilers apply relentless pressure, but the Blues were the ones to find a way…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[151,153,152],"class_list":["post-220067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield-headlines","tag-bakersfield-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
