I thought Drai did a lot in that game. Just couldn't get one in. Rittich was definitely on his game last night. Drai with 2 assists 0 +/- and played 27 minutes.

Leon Draisaitl is one of eight players in the NHL with over 100 end-to-end rushes this season (skating puck from DZ into OZ). He had a game-high 8 last night. This was a beauty...

Splitting McDrai in OT was probably a change because of how those 2 guys were getting owned in like 3 straight OT's because teams were just waiting until they were 1.5+ minutes into their shift and refusing to change to take advantage. Both of those OT lines got chances. THey probably need to work on practicing it more now if they are splitting those guys and letting more forwards participate. We were throwing possession away far too easily. Good OT teams control until they can create a solid chance.

Agreed - his whole career here we're going to hear people talk about how he doesn't look in to it - mostly because he's got a long stride, but he had two points and was involved in a tonne of chances.
I didn't mind the look with the two guys broken up. Challenge before has been that Neal or Chiasson was not a great 3v3 player, so whoever was out second was challenged, but with Nuge & Yamamoto, there's a little more speed to burn and both those guys have some talent. I thought while the Flames had a couple chances, the Oilers dominated the overtime despite having McDavid and Draisaitl on different units.

I don't think we ever HAD to play McDrai all OT. We could try Kassian, or Archibald if we wanted. Just, McDrai worked well early on and those guys think they can play super long shifts and find an opening late if they can catch another teams line being stuck out and the coach was letting them try. Didn't work for a while though, so it's time to mix it up. Lots of teams have guys that aren't super skilled getting some OT shifts, and they do better than we did the last few OT's where we just took a nap and let McDrai burn themselves out and get caught late in their shift. Got too predictable.
I do give Tippett credit. He seems to be slowly resisting the lazy McDrai dependency that McLellan had basically his entire time here. He's going through the same little bumps but he's actually adjusting a bit, unlike Todd. Certainly Yams made it a bit easier, but I don't think he was a pre-requisite to getting away from what obviously wasn't working.
