Oilers Lose to Sabres
In a game the Edmonton Oilers should have won, the Buffalo Sabres defeated Connor McDavid and the Oilers 3-2 on Monday night. Edmonton didn’t get the goaltending they needed and failed to cash in early when they hit several posts. They couldn’t get the equalizer in the third period either.
Stuart Skinner is taking heat again for not being able to stop a couple of opportunities he would have liked to have back.
