“I think we played a decent game,” Buchnevich said of linemates Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou during a postgame conversation with The Associated Press. “We got chances, but like I was saying, we’ve got to score goals, you know?

Edmonton (34-20-2, third in the Pacific Division) sits in third place in the Pacific Division with 70 points, seemingly locked in to a postseason berth.

Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored and Connor McDavid had two assists to help the Oilers move two points up on the Kings for the third place in the Pacific Division. Stuart Skinner stopped 38 shots.
“It’s probably good timing the way our game was trending lately, to have a game where you have to play simple and stay in it the whole 60,” Nugent-Hopkins told The Associated Press. “We did a great job of that.”
The teams meet Wednesday for the second time this season. The Blues won the last meeting 6-3.
Hyman has 38 goals and 20 assists for the Oilers while Connor McDavid has a stunning 23 assists over the last 10 games. These two teams will meet Wednesday for the second time this season. The Blues won the first contest by a 6-3 score.
