Oilers getting beat in net, says NHL goalie expert, so best bet is likely Pickard

Article content Edmonton coach Kris Knoblauch said today he's not yet decided which goalie he will play in Game 4. Speaking on the Real Kyper & Bourne show, Valiquette said goalies in the Stanley Cup Final are expected to let in just one goal for every five high danger chances (such as 2-on-1s, breakaways and screened deflections). 'The Stanley Cup winning goalies are stopping them at a high rate,' Valiquette said. When Florida lost to Vegas in 2023, Bobrovsky let in one goal every 2.3 high danger chances, when VGK's Adin Hill let in just one every five. 'That was the real separator in that series. Adin Hill made the bigger of the saves. ' In the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, Skinner allowed just one goal for every 4.5 high-danger chance, which was good enough for the Oilers to win, Valiquette said, so it made sense for the Oilers to lean on Skinner again this year, to make that gamble.

Kasperi Kapanen scores lone goal in overtime as Oilers eliminate Golden Knights, return to Western Conference final

Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Adin Hill made 29 saves for Vegas. Advertisement Both teams also were involved in the two most recent scoreless playoff games to reach overtime. The Oilers lost to the Jets on May 21, 2021, five days after the Golden Knights were defeated by the Wild. KASPERI KAPANEN OVERTIME WINNER 🚨 — Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) Edmonton's only 1-0 overtime playoff victory occurred in 1997 over the the Stars. Vegas has yet to win a postseason game by that score in OT. The Golden Knights played without captain Mark Stone because of an upper-body injury that caused him to miss most of Game 3 on Saturday. He played in Game 4 on Monday, but was far from at full health. Neither team scored through the first two periods, and prime scoring chances were at a premium. There were only five high-danger chances, according to Natural Stat Trick, and the Golden Knights had four of them. Advertisement But each team had a grade A chance early in the third period. Vegas's Brett Howden whiffed on a tap-in after taking a fantastic pass from Jack Eichel, and shortly after Edmonton's Leon Draistaitl failed to convert on a breakaway. Connor McDavid had a chance on a two-on-one to end the game in regulation but was denied by Hill with 1:06 left.

Adin Hill actions triggers backlash in heated Oilers game

Adin Hill actions triggers backlash in heated Oilers game (Image Source: Getty Images) Vegas Golden Knights goalie Adin Hill is in the headlines but not for his ability to make saves. Following a 3-0 defeat to the Edmonton Oilers during Game 4, talk is not of Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner and his shutout. Rather, fans and commentators are spouting about Adin Hill's erratic behavior on the ice, excoriating what many consider dangerous and underhanded play against Edmonton players. Adin Hill slashed elbows and tricks officials during a loss Adin Hill fought with Oilers forward Zach Hyman throughout the first period. He slashed Hyman with his stick, pounded him with his blocker, and elbowed him after Adam Henrique's goal. As Vegas went down 2-0, Adin Hill's frustration appeared to overflow. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo In one moment of controversy, Adin Hill extended his leg into the road of Oilers forward Mattias Janmark, sending Janmark tripping over it. Officials sent Janmark to the penalty box despite replay evidence that Adin Hill initiated the contact. Adin Hill's actions didn't end there. Evander Kane was shoved into Adin Hill during Henrique's second goal by Vegas defenseman Shea Theodore. Although it was a consequence, Hill lost his balance and punched Hyman. Ironically, it was Kane who was penalized, not Hill or Theodore. Adin Hill criticized by Elliotte Friedman and Paul Bissonnette Most hockey analysts were perplexed and outraged by the way the referees dealt with these situations. Hockey Night in Canada's Elliotte Friedman commented, "I don't understand in that one Kane play how Vegas got the power play out of it." Sportsnet's Mark Spector further commented, "I still don't get that one. Kane got knocked into him by McNab and then Hill went after Hyman. I understand we're trying to protect the goalies. And I really believe in protecting the goalies, but how they got a power play out of that one, I have no idea." Experienced writer Jim Matheson also called out Hill's behavior, saying, "Hill is losing it on almost every play around the net." He explained Hill swinging at Kane and shoving Hyman onto the ice without being called on it. Commentator and retired player Paul Bissonnette opined, "Hill has gone nuclear. He'll be getting the Bronx cheers all night if he doesn't get the hook."

Evander Kane sparks chaos after hard hit on Adin Hill

Evander Kane sparks chaos after hard hit on Adin Hill (Image Source: Getty Images) The Fourth Game of the Western Conference Semifinals between the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights turned ugly when Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill became controversial for making a play on Edmonton Oilers' Evander Kane . The play upset everyone both inside and outside of the ice and turned a tension-filled playoff series into a rage and frustration domain. Evander Kane's hit on Adin Hill and Golden Knights' reaction The play took place with 6:57 remaining in the first period, after Adam Henrique's second goal of the night, putting the Oilers up by a 2-0 count. When the puck did cross the line, Evander Kane drilled Adin Hill, sending the Golden Knights goalie airborne to the ice on a bone-jarring shot. The hit was immediate to raise eyebrows and indignation on the part of the Vegas franchise. The Golden Knights' Twitter handle vented their anger immediately, tweeting: "Can't tell if the Oilers are trying to score goals or physically attack our goalie. Unfortunately, they did both there, and it's 2-0." The tweet quickly gained popularity, fueling the two teams' rivalry and further enraging the Golden Knights. Adin Hill's reaction and on-field confrontation Hill did not like the hit one bit. He was knocked off his feet, but he sprang right back up and hit Evander Kane, and then the entire thing broke out into a dangerous melee. Players from both clubs rushed in at once, and the referees were trying to sort out the two clubs. The closer the danger grew, the tension in the arena was at fever pitch. The fans of Vegas were naturally outraged, and the air was now charged with electricity with players fighting not only for game control but team pride as well. The play went on from the physical altercation, and the Golden Knights remained intent on launching a comeback. Evander Kane's reaction, however, already showed that this series was going to be more than it was about hockey; it was an emotional battle too. Following the game, Kane addressed the situation and came to his defense. He said he was cross-checked into Hill by a Vegas defenseman . "It's tough to avoid contact when you're getting cross-checked into him," Kane told the media , "we want to go there hard and play within the rules and not have goals disallowed, so that's important." Even Kane's attempt to downplay the ferocity did little to pacify the Golden Knights' or their supporters' anger.
