The remaining teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs are on notice.
That’s because the high-flying offensive juggernaut that is the Edmonton Oilers won a 1-0 game with only 13 shots on goal Sunday night.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The win over the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles gives the Oilers a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference first-round series, with Game 5 shifting north to Edmonton’s Rogers Place on Wednesday.
It is indeed a scary proposition for everybody else if the team of superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, 50-goal scorer Zach Hyman along with Evander Kane and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins can win a game 1-0.
While the Oilers were great defensively, the biggest reason for the win was goaltender Stuart Skinner. He made 33 saves for his first career playoff shutout.
