Long post follows. Read / Don't Read up to you. Statistics for Round 3 Playoff Game 4 Dallas at Edmonton May 29th, 2025. These are "Base" statistics and are simply a foundation for reference. Score: Oilers 5, Stars 2. Series Tied 2-2 going back to Dallas. Edmonton Oilers Hyman 1 Goal McDavid 1 Goal, 1 Primary Assist Henrique 1 Goal Bouchard 1 Secondary Assist Brown 1 Primary Assist Skinner 20 Saves on 22 Shots = .909 Save %age (Further comments below, 60 minutes played) Dallas Stars Johnson 1 Goal Lindell 1 Goal Benn 1 Primary Assist, 1 Secondary Assist Harley 1 Secondary Assist Heiskanen 1 Primary Assist Just a few notes: Heiskanen played 27:33 (over 3 minutes more than the top Edmonton D Ekholm), Lindell played 23:43. The most a Forward played is Johnson at 19:02 followed by Duchene at 17:47. Other than a bit of abusing a few D Dallas was rotating their lines quite well. Oettinger 24 Saves on 28 Shots = .857 Save %age (not good), (59 minutes played) 3 Stars: 3-McLeod (1G), 2-McDavid (3A), Janmark (1G (Shortie)) Dallas Edmonton Shots on Goal 22 29 Hits 23 47 Faceoffs Won 29 32 PP 0/2 0/1 Giveaways 6 8 Takeaways 8 (7 per NST) 7 (6 per NST) Blocked Shots 14 17 (15 per NST) Player TOI SOG +/- PIM Hits Blocks Giveaways Takeaways Ekholm 24:26 3 3 0 1 1 1 1 Bouchard 23:46 2 3 0 2 2 1 0 Nurse 19:19 1 0 0 12 3 0 0 Kulak 19:09 1 -1 0 0 4 0 0 Ceci 17:21 1 1 0 2 0 0 0 Broberg 14:21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 McDavid 19:50 5 2 0 1 0 0 0 Draisaitl 19:48 3 2 0 3 0 2 0 Hyman 19:06 5 2 2 5 0 0 0 Nuge 17:56 0 1 0 3 1 1 0 McLeod 16:15 2 1 0 1 0 0 0 Holloway 14:37 0 0 0 5 2 2 0 Henrique 14:00 2 0 0 4 0 0 1 Kane 13:56 1 0 0 3 0 0 0 Perry 13:20 1 1 0 3 1 0 1 Janmark 11:02 2 0 0 1 0 1 0 Brown 10:33 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 Ryan 7:15 0 -1 2 2 1 0 2 Oilers Faceoffs Won Lost Percent Henrique 12 4 75.0 Draisaitl 10 7 58.8 McDavid 5 9 35.7 Ryan 2 4 33.3 Nuge 1 2 33.3 McLeod 1 1 50.0 Kane 1 0 100.0 Janmark 0 1 0.00 Holloway 0 1 0.00 Stars Faceoffs Won Lost Percent Johnson 6 6 50.0 Seguin 4 7 36.4 Pavelski 4 4 50.0 Hintz 4 2 66.7 Faksa 4 3 57.1 Benn 3 4 42.9 Steel 2 0 100.0 Duchene 2 6 25.0 First lets start off with the obvious. For 2 games IN A ROW, Stuart Skinner has let in the first shot for the first goal. In this game he let in another of the next 3 shots. Dallas had a 2 nothing lead with the shot clock saying 4 - 1. Someone needs to give Stu REALLY REALLY GOOD smelling salts to wake him up before he goes out. It takes a lot of offense to overcome a 2 goal deficit especially against a good team. That was the bad news. Now for the good. After 5:29 in the first period Dallas didn't score. It's like Stuart and the team drew a line in the sand and said NO MO FROM HERE. The changes coach Knoblauch made impacted the game. McLeod got his first goal. Perry got an assist. Janmark got a depth goal that was a shortie on a Dallas PP (assisted by Brown). Yes, we had the usual suspects chiming in (Bouch and Leon with goals assisted by McDavid, Nuge, and Hyman) plus the empty netter by Ekholm but we got DEPTH scoring and a Shortie. I wonder if the people who mark goals had to look up Janmark's name to make sure he was on the Oilers it's been so long. Nurse got a secondary assist on the McLeod goal too and registered 12 Hits, TWELVE HITS by himself which is over HALF of Dallas's total. The Oilers, as a team, had over double the hits of Dallas. The Stars must be pretty "Tenderized" by now. Tanev had to leave the game for the Stars and only played a total of 8:37. Dallas didn't do well in the faceoff dot. Oh the Oilers only had 3 more wins there but if you look at the player by player there aren't a lot of bright spots for the Stars. Oilers blocked a few more shots, gave away 2 more pucks, Took away 1 less puck, took 1 more penalty (all of the penalties both sides were killed so PK units still running 100%) and they shot 7 more shots that made it to Oettinger. What I like is the Time on Ice minutes. No Oilers Forward played even 20 minutes so they were rotating the lines quite well too. For a game that started so wrong the Oilers make it so right and we go into Dallas tied at 2 games each. Take care all.
@epiphany519 Hay 🤠👋 Well Said!!! What a Banger🏒🥅 OILERS 🧡💙🤍Game! The Scars were 😜Rattled!!! Good Healing 😇Vibes 👀Sent to you & yer 🐶's🐾! Game #5 Winning👍
Darnell has been undisciplined and aimless on defense... Im glad he got his shit together...he needs to keep it together... STAY MOTIVATED!! Why has it taken this embarrassment to get him to play hard!?? He doesnt need coddling, he makes 10 .4 million a year.. he is fine...PLAY HARDER & more focused .. he needs to feel the presssure. From zero hits to 12 hits in one game???? SAYS IT ALL.. I''ll give you all the hugs you can handle after you play to your potential..
Glad they shut down those guys down low and closed off those stretch plays. Just hope they don’t forget that they will try it again. It’s their bread and butter in Dallas.
The fans social media critique of Nurse was fully warranted though. If he played as well as he CAN more often, nobody would have a problem with him. Nurse acted like a big baby yesterday in his one minute interview and it’s too bad that’s what it takes for him to play a decent game in the playoffs.
When you are the man @ the working end of a shovel you get mud in your eye and dirt on your clothes. Darnell was put into the Working Mans spot and the System funneled all the heat right to him, Darnells stats are simply Team currency being spent....when Nurse hits more and is more physical thats the Coaches spending even more currency on him as they are willing to eat the Penaltys , its a sign of his value,not of is inability to do his job.IMHO Darnell is still the co-#1 D-man with Eckholm and hes being used as a Rover now and this makes the Oilers a much deeper Team. Stars had Skinners head over a barrel but the Oilers as a Team bailed him out again, that 1st shot = 1st Goal Against issue will never go away. I still feel like the Oilers are just outscoring their Goalies mistakes. Gotta love me some Janmark huh? What a Stud. I am dusting off all my old 80s Oilers party gear ...its all been in stasis for Decades....Hang on Sloopy we are almost there, Kudos to Grandpa for jumping back in and not spilling any tea. ...I have reset expectations now after this win.
