The sixth edition of the Alberta Battle Playoffs came to an end on Thursday, although it ended very well, although the game required some extra time.

It was another lively game that exploded into a second 7-goal period, including another new NHL playoff record (4 goals faster, both teams = 71 seconds). This turned a 1-0 chess game into a 4-4 thriller. There the scoreboard held through a tense final frame that saw Edmonton take advantage of the chances, but Calgary came closer to scoring. Blake Coleman’s apparent 6-minute balance was overturned in a video review showing a subtle but distinct kick movement.

# 5 Cody Ceci, 6. He also played about 22:27 mostly solid with 2 hits, 2 blocks and his usual stable play.

# 18 Zach Hyman, 9. A force to be reckoned with all night, and every series in which he scored at least 1 goal in every game. He was flying from the start, although goals only started to come for the Oilers after Jay Woodcroft switched him to the McDavid-Draisaitl line in the second period. At the end of the night he threw a fantastic 1-2-3, +4 wagons, with a maximum of 7 shots from the team. He examined the goalkeeper in Bouchard’s equalizer. He almost gave the Oilers the lead minutes later when he grabbed a lost record in the neutral zone and fired in a short escape. He delivered and received a few heavy blows, both at once in a titanic collision with Lindholm.

# 22 Tyson Barrie, 5. Quiet night after a pretty good series overall.
# 25 Darnell Nurse, 6 years old. Played 23:25 minutes high event. He scored a great goal with a fantastic shot to get the Oilers to the boards 2 minutes after falling 2-0. He was hit hard by Mikael Backlund’s play and inside shot, but the later review of the video was dropped. Of all the Oilers, he is likely to benefit most from his free time before the Western Conference Finals begin.
# 27 Brett Kulak, 5. Unable to avoid Backlund’s 2-0 lead, otherwise solid. He made a good stretch to set up a 2 on 1. He has changed the look of Edmonton’s third pair, and for the better.
# 29 Leon Draisaitl, 10 years. Another magnificent start in a spectacular series that saw him break 3 different NHL records and tie a quarter. He was skating more freely tonight and played a splendid 200-foot game. Involved in 11 Edmonton Grade A shots while keeping the goal clear on the defensive end, turning the defense into an offense on multiple occasions. Only 2 shots of his own, both dangerous, but it was a passing machine with 4 assists and a number of other splendid configurations on both sides of his post. He made an excellent play with the winner of the game, picking up a loose disc along the side boards, absorbing control of Noah Hanifin as he turned backwards to the right and creating an open lane for McDavid, who hit with another pass. fine. He scored at least 3 points in 5 competitions, breaking the old mark of 3 consecutive games. He also became the first NHL player to score 15 assists in a series of playoffs, especially impressive as it lasted only 5 games. He now has 41 apples and 49 points in his last 22 games against the Flames, a team he has tormented for years. He has tied with McDavid with 26 playoff points; no other NHL player has more than 15.

# 37 Warren Foegele, 6. Solid grinding did a bit of solid grinding. Oilers held the ball, with a clear 11 percent of possession. He made a good pass to send Puljujarvi alone.
# 41 Mike Smith, 5. Not his best game, but good enough. It leaked in a couple of questionable goals in a short time during the 4-goal burst, but it ended with a good stop by Elias Lindholm on the edge of the fold. His puck handling was a bit slow, including a bad gift that almost allowed Blake Coleman an empty net. He made an excellent pad stop outside the Lindholm unit about a minute before the McDavid’s OT winner. 36 shots, 32 stops,, 889 percentage of savings. He was definitely the best goalkeeper in the series with 3.40 and .907 percentages that sound mediocre but are positively stellar compared to Markstrom’s sad 5.12 and .852.

# 44 Zack Kassian, 4. He allowed Michael Stone’s outside shot that Backlund tilted home early in the second and didn’t see the ice again. It was played only 2:48 of the night with 0 shooting attempts or hits and poor game numbers.
# 56 Kailer Yamamoto, 7. Solid effort that saw him make 2 shots, block 2, record 2 to take away and get 4 hits at 8:01 p.m. The Flames ‘only penalty was tied, which led to a goal from the Oilers’ PP. He made a fantastic pass to Kane for a third-period chance that barely missed. It roamed all night.
# 71 Ryan McLeod, 7. It is clear that he has gained the trust of the coach in position 3C and with good reason based on his 14:39 of excellent game. Flying around, making the steady transition from the disk to the smooth end of the ice. No points, but he made an important contribution to Puljujarvi’s goal when he scored, opening a lane for Hyman’s outside shot. The Oilers outscored the Flames 10-2 on their clock, although they struggled to the point of confrontation (1/9 = 11%).

# 75 Evan Bouchard, 6. He lost a battle at the end of the first goal of the match, but regained it with authority when his stopwatch from the high slot came in to make it 4-4. Calm under pressure and moved the disc well with a series of fine output passes.
# 91 Evander Kane, 6. He’s not at his best after a couple of days of swirling, missing a few shots and a pass that went to -200 feet and making an unnecessary penalty. Proactive proactive with a remarkable 14 shooting attempts, 5 of them in goal. 3 more hits. It improved as the night progressed.
# 93 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, 6. He made his biggest contribution to the Oilers’ lone power play, which took less than 30 seconds to convert when Nuge’s pass found Hyman on the edge of the fold. for tap-in. His line saw many of Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk’s best Calgary trios and bent but did not break. He fought to the point with only 2/12 = 17% in one night, the Oilers as a team won only a third of all draws. 1 takeaway, 2 blocked shots.
