Tippett could see after 40 minutes that his team needed a jolt. So he shuffled his deck, reuniting McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, for the first time in what seems like ages, on a line with Kailer Yamamoto. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins dropped down to centre Sam Gagner and Alex Chiasson. And Josh Archibald teamed up with Gaetan Haas and Zack Kassian.
The rearranged lines managed to outshoot Arizona 12-9 in the third period, but alas the Coyotes scored the only goal of the frame into an empty net on a loser of a night for the Oilers.• The best powerplay in the NHL went 0-for-3, giving up a fluky short-handed goal that summed up the night, while Mikko Koskinen played quite well and simply got no run support.
• If you were picking a night to lose, this wasn’t a bad one for Edmonton, which sits second in the Pacific, three points back of Vancouver. The Canucks lost 4-0 at Boston, Vegas dropped a 4-2 decision in Tampa and San Jose beat Calgary 3-1. All those results are great for the Coyotes too, who hopped past the Flames into the top wild-card spot out West.
Spec The oilers have a very hard time to winning 3 straight. Last night the yotes were on a 5 game losing skid. I thought this time we would go on a roll..boy was I wrong. They were awful. Huge opportunity lost. Very disappointing performance. Can’t lose 2 straight moving forward.
