VANCOUVER http://www.sabresshoponline.com/authentic-johan-larsson-jersey , British Columbia (AP) — Ken Hitchcock wants Oilers fans to brace for a wild ride.Edmonton’s coach thinks games will get tighter throughout the second half of the season and look more like his team’s 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks in a shootout Wednesday night.“You’re going to be in a battle and there’s going to be a lot of emotional times. And for me, if you’re a fan of hockey, you’re going to love this,” Hitchcock said. “If you’re just looking for wins, you’re going to go through a roller-coaster ride.“But if you’re looking for great hockey with people pouring everything in it, you’re going to be looking at this for the next 40 games.”Alex Chiasson scored in the fifth round of a shootout to win it.Jujhar Khaira and captain Connor McDavid scored in the first period for the Oilers, who won consecutive games for the first time since early December. They lost their two previous matchups with the Canucks.“It’s a tough building to play in. We’ve always had struggles,” McDavid said. “At least we were able to take advantage of it and get the two points.”Mikko Koskinen stopped 20 shots before denying all five Canucks attempts in the tiebreaker.Brandon Sutter and Markus Granlund had the goals for Vancouver. Jacob Markstrom made 28 saves.Chiasson said watching teammate Leon Draisaitl’s shootout attempt helped him read Markstrom.“I thought if I could come with a little bit of speed and go just above (his glove). It worked out,” Chiasson said.The right wing believes the Oilers can take a lot from tight games.“We’ve got to learn how to play in these types of games, make good decisions, play until we have to,” said Chiasson, who won a Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals last season. “I thought tonight was a good example of making good decisions and building our game as it went on. Even though we had ups and downs Authentic Justin Bailey Jersey , we kept going. And that’s what we need.”Sutter was happy with the way his team played against the Oilers, despite the result.“It’s fun hockey to watch and a little more nerve-wracking to play, but I like our game tonight,” he said.“It was a grinding game, kind of that playoff feel against teams that are fighting for it and that’s what they are going to be like down the stretch, so I thought we played really well.”Edmonton opened the scoring 7:35 into the game with a short-handed goal.Ryan Nugent-Hopkins picked off the puck in his own end and sent it to Khaira in the neutral zone. He took a spinning wrist shot from the hash marks and beat Markstrom on the far side.“It was one of those things where it just kind of presented itself,” Khaira said. “I need to be more of a shooter, so I’m just trying to focus on that right now. It’s nice when it pays off.”Sutter responded for the Canucks 78 seconds later, firing a shot from the top of the faceoff circle for a power-play goal.A fight between Vancouver’s Antoine Roussel and Edmonton’s Matt Benning set the stage for the third goal of the night. Roussel was handed a double-minor for the tussle while Benning was assessed a two-minute penalty, giving the Oilers their second power play.McDavid capitalized with 57 seconds left in the period, streaking into the Vancouver zone alone and putting a laser of a shot around defenseman Chris Tanev and past Markstrom.Vancouver tied it again midway through the second. Tim Schaller dug the puck out behind the Edmonton net and chipped it to Granlund in the slot. The center got off a quick one-timer for his eighth goal of the season.Ben Hutton appeared to score another power-play goal for the Canucks late in the second, but Edmonton challenged the play, saying Vancouver’s Jake Virtanen was offside. After a video review http://www.sabresshoponline.com/authentic-kyle-okposo-jersey , officials agreed and the goal was overturned.Virtanen nearly won the game on a breakaway with 20 seconds to go in the third, but couldn’t beat Koskinen.Darnell Nurse swiped the puck away from Edmonton’s crease halfway through overtime to keep the Oilers in the game. The play resulted in an Oilers rush, and Draisaitl put a shot into Markstrom’s logo.“I thought for sure we’d score for sure twice and then next thing I know, I couldn’t believe they didn’t score. Overtime was really exciting,” Hitchcock said.NOTES: McDavid extended his point streak to six games. He has six goals and three assists during that stretch and sits fourth in the NHL’s scoring race with 70 points on the season. … Vancouver traded defenseman Michael Del Zotto to the Anaheim Ducks for Luke Schenn and a 2020 seventh-round draft pick. Canucks coach Travis Green said the deal frees up a spot on Vancouver’s roster.UP NEXTOilers: Begin a three-game homestand Saturday against Calgary.Canucks: Host the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kyle Palmieri and the New Jersey Devils have been struggling after a quick start to the season, but they hope Thursday night’s 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings can turn things around.Palmieri scored twice in a matchup of conference cellar dwellers as the Devils snapped a six-game losing streak and got just their third victory away from home.“This is a big road trip for us. We wanted to get off to a good start,” said Palmieri, who leads the Devils with 14 goals. “We scored timely goals and that’s what you need to do. It’s a fresh start. You can’t worry about what happened in October and November.”The right wing had seven goals in New Jersey’s first four games — all wins — but had been in a slump since then. Coming into Thursday, he had just one goal in his past nine games. He also had not fared well against the Kings, going without a goal in his last 13 games against Los Angeles and scoring only two in 18 meetings.Both his goals came on wrist shots that beat Jonathan Quick to his glove side.Palmieri opened the scoring on a power-play goal with six minutes remaining in the first period off a pass from Taylor Hall, who had three assists. Palmieri then put the Devils up for good, 3-2, midway through the second period on a snap shot.New Jersey was clinging to a 4-3 lead midway through the third when Nico Hischier provided an insurance goal. He got position in the slot and was able to redirect Sami Vatanen’s shot past Quick for his sixth of the season.Blake Coleman added a late empty-net goal for his ninth.Travis Zajac and Will Butcher each had a goal and an assist. Keith Kinkaid Rasmus Ristolainen Jersey , pulled after allowing four goals in two periods during Monday night’s loss to Tampa Bay, bounced back with 29 saves.“I thought his puck play was strong and his decisions were good,” Devils coach John Hynes said. “He did a good job of seeing pucks through traffic. He came up big for us in certain situations.”Brendan Leipsic, Adrian Kempe and Kyle Clifford scored for the Kings, who have dropped four of five and are last in the NHL with 21 points. Quick stopped 29 shots.Leipsic scored his first goal with Los Angeles and third of the season on a wrist shot from just inside the right circle that went through Kinkaid’s legs with four minutes remaining in the first to tie it at 1. The left wing was claimed off waivers from Vancouver on Monday and was playing in his second game for the Kings.Kempe’s goal in the second came on a pass from Drew Doughty. The assist by Doughty gave him 334 for his career and made him the franchise leader among defensemen, surpassing Rob Blake.“We’re obviously super frustrated. It’s another game that we didn’t perform well enough. It’s frustrating. It’s embarrassing. It’s a lot of things,” Doughty said.NOTES: RW Nikita Scherbak’s debut with the Kings was pushed back another game due to visa delays. The 23-year-old Russian, claimed off waivers Sunday from Montreal, could be on the ice for Los Angeles’ next game Saturday. … Zajak’s goal was only the ninth time since 2000-01 that the Devils have scored in the first 25 seconds of the second period. … Kempe has two goals in his past three games.UP NEXTDevils: Continue their three-game road trip Sunday at Anaheim.Kings: Host the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.
