It was the definitive game of the year for the Oilers this season. The Oilers dug deep for a thoroughly entertaining win over the Avalanche on Thursday.
So much for Connor McDavid versus Alex Ovechkin Tuesday night.It's difficult to fathom how the cross-check to the side of Conor Garland’s head by McDavid at the end of Saturday’s 3-2 loss will not draw at least a one-game suspension, if not a two-gamer.
Connor McDavid, it seems, has had enough of waiting for the officials to give him the room he requires to be the best player on earth.For now, he’ll cut his own swath, rather than waiting patiently for a striped arm to go up.

Edmonton somehow beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 Saturday afternoon to launch themselves past Vegas and into first place in the Pacific, the first time they have sat atop the Pacific standings since Dec. 1, 2001. Back then, Dave Tippett was their head coach and Mikko Koskinen their No. 1 goalie.
