When Edmonton Oilers took to the ice on Saturday night for the opening game of a three-game set against Toronto, they had designs on overtaking the Maple Leafs’ four-point lead in the standings in the days to come. But the first move in that journey was a giant step backwards, as the homestanding Oilers were dominated 4-0 by a Toronto club missing its marquee player and its #1 goaltender. Playing without NHL goal scoring leader Auston Matthews, the rest of the Leafs checked like demons, giving Edmonton’s star players little room to weave their magic. They also took taking advantage of some wide open spaces at the other end of the ice and a couple of holes in a shaky Mike Smith.
They need … anything but this.
Their visit to Ottawa, home to the cellar-dwelling Senators, will wait until later in the week.
First, they hit Toronto for a pair of meetings with North Division-leading Maple Leafs. Gulp.
The Flames, it seems, can’t keep the puck out of their own net.
Auston Matthews, it seems, can’t be stopped.
For a struggling squad, now south of the even-steven line at 8-9-1, it feels like a match made in hockey hell. Somewhere, you can hear Harvey the Hound whimpering.
“Well, we’re playing arguably the best team in the league these next two games and they’re going to be intense games because they came into our rink and took it to us for two games (in January),” said Flames alternate captain Matthew Tkachuk after Saturday’s Blowout of Alberta a 7-1 landslide for the host Oilers at Rogers Place in Edmonton.
