The Flames could have poured gasoline on a tire fire. Instead, they provided the Oilers with a spark that may turn around their season. (EricFrancis)

may wind up being the turning point on their rival’s season.

Suddenly the losers of seven in row, who had been badly outplayed to that point, had a flicker of hope. An obvious and unnecessary cross check by Oliver Kylington led to the first goal and a somewhat more questionable holding call on Elias Lindholm led to the second.From there, the show was stolen by the last man on earth anyone would have predicted to be the game’s hero: Mikko Koskinen.

“Penalties, you just can’t take em. They’re at 30 per cent, they score one in three. That’s how it works.” The save of the night came with 10 minutes left in a tied game, when a Sean Monahan saucer pass to Dillon Dube seemed destined for the twine before a sprawling Koskinen somehow came up with a glove/pad snare that brought the half-packed arena to its feet.It might actually be instrumental in saving his job for a while longer, as many believe a loss to the Flames would have prompted a move of great significance from GM Ken Holland.

EricFrancis Oilers go 2-3 in next 5

EricFrancis All that needs to happen from now on for the EdmontonOilers to have success….. 19 needs to make 45 saves a night… gotta score 4 or more / night. And the officials have to gift them one go ahead goal in the third period / game.

EricFrancis No the Flames did not. Oilers outplayed them. Admit it 😝

EricFrancis Pouring gasoline on a tire fire is incredibly dangerous

EricFrancis Flames aren’t going anywhere unless they address secondary scoring.
