Canucks Steal a Win in Edmonton Despite Connor McDavid's Three Point Performance
By Russell Dawson / Vancouver Canucks
May 9, 2024

As the series shifts to Edmonton the battle of Rogers begins at Rogers Place in Edmonton, the inferior stadium of course.

Quinn Hughes would snipe his first goal of the playoffs almost 5 minutes into the first with a laser from the high slot. It would be Sam Gagner that would tie it up with a shot in a similar spot to Quinn's goal. The score would remain 1-1 through the first with shots 12-9 Vancouver. Something to note was Andrei Kuzmenko played just one shift during the first and was not on the bench for the second. Something to keep an eye on for sure.

To start the 2nd, it was none other than Connor McDavid who would score his first of the series after an incredible rush up the ice that resulted in a breakaway goal. Canucks would have their own star center Elias Pettersson score to tie it up just a minute later with another goal line goal, something he's starting to gain a reputation for one would think. These two teams would be deadlocked at 2 a piece as we head into the 3rd period.

Of course if he was gonna score one he was going to score two as McDavid fired a wrister over the glove of Demko to make it 3-2 Oilers. Vancouver kept fighting to try and tie the game up but Stuart Skinner was standing strong in net. That was until Carson Soucy fired a seeing eye wrist shot on net which hit the back bar past Skinner and effectively tying the game at 3! At this point you almost just wanted to get to the overtime frame but the Canucks had other ideas. Boone Jenner fired what looked like an easy save on net but it hit a defenseman in front and slid under the pad of Skinner! 4-3 Canucks with just under 4 minutes remaining. Head Coach Bear Schenn had the Nucks play some real tight defensive hockey, allowing the Oilers to get just two shots after the Jenner goal, giving Vancouver the win and the 2-1 series lead.

Game Notes
Tanner Pearson's injury from last game is listed as just day-to-day and is expected to be in for Game 4. Bruins fans however blew a sigh of relief as Ullmark returned for this one after missing Game 2. With the injuries, Sean Farrell would make his Playoff Debut for the Canadiens. Boston continues their dominance this postseason with their 7th straight win in a 5-1 clobbering. McAvoy and Heinen both had two goals a piece.
