Great win.
Nice to see McLeod finally going.
Campbell was solid once again. That's 5 games in a row of good goaltending and he's won his last 6 starts. I think he's found his game. Assuming Skinner doesn't unexpectedly fall off, the Oilers look to have 2 good goalie options.
I thought the whole defense played pretty well. Desharnais continues to look like he belongs. Got another point. They were able to lock it down in the 3rd once again.
Broberg continues to look really good. If he keeps this up, he could be a legit top 4 option next season signed for dirty cheap which would be huge to a cap team. I can see why Holland didn't drafted him and didn't want to trade him for another dman. I wouldn't think a rookie could settle down Bouchard but he has.
I thought all of the top 6 forwards played well. I thought all the bottom 6 forwards played well and were noticeable in whatever minutes they got except JP. JP didn't get a ton of mins, lowest by far on the team but I didn't see him doing anything to deserve more which is a bit surprising considering he sat last game. I expected him to come out flying and he wasn't overly noticeable to me.
Big props to Kostin for taking a fight with Maroon to stand up to him going after McD. I saw McD go over to him and thank him. Maroon is a big dude. Props to the whole team for not backing down. Tampa is kind of a dirty team and the Oilers didn't just sit there an take it. Nice to see.
The Oilers schedule is set up that they could potentially go on a nice run. I hope they take advantage.
