The Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their regular season Friday night with a 3-2 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks at Roger Place.
The Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their regular season Friday night with a 3-2 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks at Roger Place.
The shootout lasted six rounds with Oilers forward Devin Shore scoring the only goal.
“The last couple have been different in that they don’t have any bearing on the standings, so I don’t think we’ve been as tight as we could be,” Oilers defenceman Tyson Barrie said after the game.
J.T. Miller scored for the Canucks in the first period, ripping a shot right under the crossbar for his 32nd goal of the season.
The second period was scoreless. Shore had a great chance to get the Oilers on the board but couldn’t tuck the puck past Vancouver goaltender Spencer Martin’s outstretched pad.
”We didn’t start the way we wanted to,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said. “We were on our heels for a little bit, but I thought we settled in.
Edmonton defenceman Brett Kulak ripped a point shot past Martin 31 seconds into the third to tie it up.
“To see them dig in and find a way to win — it’s the last game of the regular season, but it leaves us — as we head into preparations for playoffs — in a good mood,” Woodcroft said.
