Connor Ingram was steady in net for Edmonton, stopping 26 of 29 shots to snap a personal two-start losing streak. Adin Hill allowed four goals on 29 shots, with Edmonton repeatedly finding success on his blocker side.<\/p>\n
The offence from McDavid and Bouchard and the win for Ingram stand out at a glance, but another key factor was Edmonton\u2019s penalty kill. The Oilers<\/a> killed all three Vegas power plays, including a holding call on Zach Hyman in overtime.<\/p>\n Though the Golden Knights have been struggling to score lately, they still boast one of the league\u2019s top power plays, ranking fifth at 24.5 percent. If these teams meet in the playoffs again, special teams will likely play a major role in the outcome.<\/p>\n What they said\u2026<\/p>\n Edmonton head coach Kris Knoblauch on the Oilers picking up their game at the right time\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re looking more like we\u2019re playing a playoff game, like things matter. Attention to detail and we\u2019re simplifying our game. It\u2019s nice to see. And obviously the games are so important right now that everyone seems like they\u2019re dialled in and needing to win. They know the urgency to play right.<\/p>\n Oilers winger Zach Hyman on Edmonton beating a couple of playoff teams on this two-game trip\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a great road trip. Two massive wins against two potential playoff opponents. I thought we played well defensively and everybody contributed. That\u2019s so important at this time of year. Everybody feels a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Oilers goaltender Connor Ingram on the team\u2019s back-to-back wins against Utah and Vegas\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe last two games have been both really good. We found a way to play that\u2019s giving us success and now it\u2019s just not being stubborn and sticking with it, just playing simple. We\u2019re a good enough hockey club where we\u2019re going to get our chances, so as long as we don\u2019t give them any, we\u2019re going to be just fine.\u201d<\/p>\n Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy on the Golden Knights falling into a late-season skid\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a battle for us since the Olympic break to win games. So, let\u2019s get winning again, feel good about ourselves, and take care of winning.\u201d<\/p>\n Golden Knights captain Mark Stone on what the team needs to fix down the stretch\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s put ourselves in the dance. There are no guarantees, so we must continue to wake up in the morning, put our best foot forward, and get better. We played a pretty good 5-on-5 game. Our problem is that we\u2019re making some big mistakes. That\u2019s just what we got to clean up.\u201d<\/p>\n Up next\u2026With the road trip complete, the Oilers return home for their penultimate homestand of the regular season.
