OK, so McDavid played last night for the Oilers (+2.5 game score, good for mortals but only OK when you’re Connor McDavid), and so did Dickinson (+0.5 game score, which is perfectly fine when you’re Jason Dickinson). Not sure if they were playing games with the injury list or what, but either way way the Oilers took that one fairly comfortably behind strong showings from Connor Ingram and Evan Bouchard coupled with a terrible game from Lukas Dostal in the other net. Sometimes the best puck luck you can get is when the opposing goalie has a bad night. That series stands at 3-2 to the Ducks who head home to the pond to see if they can finish it off on Thursday.
Minnesota took the best game of the night by a 4-2 margin to take a 3-2 series lead back to the heartland for Game 6. That one was a little bit of a theft, as Dallas had the better chances but couldn’t finish when it mattered. Fun game to watch.
And in the East, the Bruins figured it out to get the OT win and send this series back to Boston where they can try to fight off elimination again. Buffalo is faster, bigger and deeper, but Boston kind of refuses to go away. The Sabres looked to be slowly chipping away through the whole second half of the game, but it was Boston that made a play and got the W. Less fun game to watch.
