The series heads to Alberta with the Panthers leading 2-0. Here's what we learned in Florida's latest victory, and what to watch Thursday night.
scored two goals, Florida limited Edmonton to 19 shots on goal, and the Oilers' vaunted power play was once again held scoreless.Florida put on a clinic of sorts in Game 2. Edmonton managed just seven shots on net through the first two periods -- compared to 22 off the Panthers' sticks -- and Florida's top units were rolling over the Oilers' best players.
Even when they broke through to have 12 shots in the final frame, they gave up two goals before the Panthers scored an empty-netter late in the third. Keep in mind, that's with having a shot share of 71% in the third frame in 5-on-5 play.. While the Oilers have worked to consistently limit opponents, Skinner has shown he can handle a heavier workload and his team can still win.
And he's quite familiar with the Edmonton crowd, after skating for the arch-nemesis Calgary Flames prior to his trade to the Panthers. Nurse was on the receiving end of a first-period check that led to him going to the dressing room. He returned for a 13-second shift, only to go back to the dressing room again before coming back to the Oilers' bench. Nurse had just one shift in the second period and two more in the third period.
