![]() ![]() Skinner is a lock to stay in Edmonton and Markus Niemelainen appears to have turned a corner. It’s possible Evander Kane returns in the next few weeks, general manager Ken Holland is no doubt shopping for help on the blue line (and a centre who can penalty kill won’t go amiss), plus any contributions from Campbell will be a bonus.Īs the season stretches past the halfway point, Holland will need to decide on his rookies. There’s a combination of difficult opponents and easier marks, with more games against lesser lights ahead for Edmonton. Edmonton’s special teams were instrumental in any success enjoyed during December. There were some signs of life in December, here are the numbers for all regular forwards. If the team is going to be competitive, secondary scoring from the third and fourth lines is vital. A look at the league’s leading scorers shows McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins and Hyman all inside the top 25 for the season. The Oilers are top-heavy among forwards who post offence. One item worth mentioning: Nugent-Hopkins is playing the most effective five-on-five hockey of his career. Several factors, including quality of competition (lack of elite talent among opponents) could be a factor. Puck IQ shows McDavid, Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins are playing most against elites, the big news there is McDavid is facing the best less often (a small change) as a percentage this season. It might be expected that the top unit (McDavid with and without Draisaitl) would have more clearance, but the goaltending was still being solved in early December. This is a balanced group, one of the few seen in Edmonton over the last many years. The final December record obscured some real progress in some important areas. Overall, it was a month of improved numbers, but missed opportunities due to single negative events in specific games. 929 save percentage and 5-4-1 record in the month were key to the team’s success. 1 goaltender despite his youth and inexperience. In goal, Stuart Skinner emerged as the No. His five-on-five on ice goal share (10-6, 63 percent) and 12 power-play assists made him an impact player during December. On defence, Tyson Barrie had an enormous month. Leon Draisaitl (6-15-21 in 13), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (13 games, 8-8-16) and Zach Hyman (6-8-14 in 12 games) scored at more than a point per game including all game states. ![]() The Pacific Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights have separated from the pack, leaving the Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Calgary Flames and Seattle Kraken to fight it out for two or three spots that will be available at the end of the season.Ĭonnor McDavid scorched opponents during the month, scoring 14-17-31 (all strengths) in 15 games, and outscoring opponents 13-11 (54 percent) five-on-five.
