Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, 4. There is no impact, and the continued attention of RNH to larger and heavier teams such as Los Angeles. Contribution/Error of Class A Shooting (Gas): Even strength +1/-1; special team +1/-1.

Vasily Podkolzin, 7. Active all the games, make an impact, which should help him stay working for weeks in the Edmonton forwards’ battle for the roster. Win the board battle and set up Arvidsson in the first period. The second time I beat Class A on my own. Gas: ES +3/-1; ST +0/-1.

Viktor Arvidsson, 6. Another solid game. First, knock the A-level on Class A. Gas: ES +3/-1; ST +0/-0.

Zach Hyman, 6 years old. In the first defeat of the Bouchard stretch pass, it quickly broke but failed to beat Kuemper and never beat Kuemper again, except for another good tough move and a third later online shot. Gas: ES +3/-0; ST +0/-0.

Trent Frederic, 7. Made it rough and has an impact. But it only hit 7:10. How healthy is he? related. His first shift booed for a few seconds, booed! Leaving the game after that, maybe injured, but returning over Drew Doughty and sending the Los Angeles vet online in pain. Next, he followed his tip and shot Kuemper, inciting the king to lose his temper. Finished the first one with a hard wrap. Solid O-Zone hits result in a second-level A. Gas: ES +2/-0; ST +0/-0.

Adam Henrique, 4. He allowed the lead to Kuzmanko with a second Los Angeles goal. Gas: ES +1/-0; ST +0/-0.

Connor Brown, 5 years old. Quiet game, bad for the striker. A good drama drive network late. Gas: ES +1/-0; ST +1/-1.

Mattias Janmark, 3. Solid back check to stop the first dangerous Kemp rush. The second time I rushed for my A-level slot. But a moment later, a counter-check on Kevin Fiala allowed him to establish his position and then beat him in the crease. Janmark has been shooting on the defensively, so his position in the roster must be in danger. Called to call Super Duper marginal fines because of the kind of uninvented slash McDavid and Draisaitl need ten times per game. When Doughty just a moment later, Doughty cuts down the RNH and is not fined, even if it denies that RNH is disengaged, the situation will be worse. Gas: ES +1/-1; ST +1/-1.

Jeff Skinner, 4 years old. Same as Brown. It needs to make an impact as a forward and show that he can be effective for heavy teams. He played hockey early on when the line changes and received a penalty on the hockey. Gas: ES +0/-0; ST +0/-0.

Kasperi Kapanen, 5. Busy. In the first game, solid defense stops resulted in a lot of oilers O-Zone time. Gas: ES +1/-0; ST +0/-2.

Corey Perry, 5. Pounce on the turnover and drive almost on the second level. Gas: ES +1/-0; ST +0/-0.

Max Jones, 5 years old. It didn’t add much aggression, but did hit five shots. Gas: ES +0/-1; ST +0/-0.

Evan Bouchard, 5 years old. Some are good, some are bad. Sent to Heyman very early. Gas: ES +2/-2; ST +0/-0.

Jake Walman, 4 years old. Decent game, but was flattened very well by the foot in Moore’s second stage break. Gas: ES +1/-1; ST +0/-2.

Nurse Darnell, 7. Quiet game, but that’s good for D-Man. Keep the sheets clean and not even a mistake, even if the A-level shot is even. Gas: ES +0/-0; ST +0/-0.

Troy Stecher, 7. Strong noise, bid for the playoff lineup. A second time with a great attack on Fiala; I love seeing the Oilers hype any Kings since Mikey Anderson’s annoying shot down by Leon Draisaitl in the 2022 playoffs. A great awesome Danault on D-Slot and the Game the Danault in Danault. Gas: ES +1/-0; ST +0/-0.

Brett Ear, 3. His downturn continued. The shooter in the battle slowly led to Picard’s circus saving in the first game. The goal was bad in Los Angeles’ first goal, got caught firmly and caused a 2-on-1. This is also the culprit of the second goal, wandering in the red light zone, without covering any passing lanes or anyone, forcing the nurse to cover him during the period of not being able to do so. Gas: ES +0/-3; ST +1/-1.

Ty Emberson, 6. It’s also a quiet game. Gas: ES +0/-1; ST +1/-0.

Calvin Pickard, 7. Spin to stop the tough outside shot as early as possible, eventually defeating the 5-alert rebound with his turnaround, stopping it with the back of the elbow. Stop on Moore’s break-in opportunity for the second time. He kicked a rebound on his first goal in Los Angeles, but it was unfortunate to see Fialan knockout and score. Beat Clean on the outside shooting percentage of the second Los Angeles goal but thwarted Kopitar’s breakout count. It was saved on Fiala’s PP harpoon, but that’s why the hockey Gords invented the crossbar. Late for some great stops, but he didn’t have oil on the offense.
