"It's no secret the Oilers' goaltending situation was a concern all year, as both Conklin and Markkanen were near the league-worst in save percentage (.880). (In fact, of the dozen or so Edmonton regular-season games I saw this season, the waived Mike Morrison was stronger than both.)
The smart money from all interested observers has Markkanen starting Game 2 on Wednesday."
Rip Kirby: Målrikt. 3-2 till Buffalo redan efter 11 minuter. 11-8 i skott på mål. Matchen är ju ännu helt jämn men känns som att Montreals chans ligger i att få ordning på den normalt sett starka defensiven. Den här typen av match vinner de inte annars.
