Jack Campbell and Dylan Holloway entered this NHL season with something to prove and both of them delivered on Friday.
Jack Campbell and Dylan Holloway entered this NHL season with something to prove and both of them delivered on Friday.
Holloway scored the tying goal and Campbell made 34 stops as the Edmonton Oilers rallied late to win 2-1 in overtime over the Calgary Flames in pre-season action.
The winning goal for Edmonton (2-1-1) was notched by Brad Malone on a breakaway, who took a pass from Seth Griffith, went to his backhand, and slipped the puck through Dan Vladar's pads at 2:24.
But it never would have reached extra time if not for Campbell, who was excellent in his first action of the pre-season.
“I was a little nervous,” said Campbell, who played the full game. “I put a lot of work in this summer and wanted to do well and you know, just really excited to go out and have a good performance and just keep building on the things I've been working so hard on.”
Campbell won 21 games last season, but struggled to a .888 save percentage last in the first season of a five-year, $25 million deal he signed as a free agent. Come the playoffs, he watched from the bench as rookie Stuart Skinner was handed the crease.
“Jack played the way he expected to play, the way I expect him to play, the way our team expects him to play, which is he played great,” said Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft.
