14, 2014 in Los Angeles against the Kings and looked backed fondly on game one ahead of game 500 just over eight years later. Video: PRE-RAW | Darnell Nurse 11. 22"It was a pretty special day to be able to live a dream like that, " Nurse said. "I think I was dash-one in the first shift, but it's still fun to look back on it. It was a good game, a great experience. I think they were defending Stanley Cup champs, so it was it was really eye-opening to know how hard this league is. "Since the start of the 2020-21 season, the 27-year-old leads the Oilers in ice time by a wide margin, averaging 25:05 per game, nearly three minutes more than Leon Draisaitl (22:18) and Connor McDavid (22:12). He credits his growing tenure in the League for his ability to handle that significant leadership role on the back end.
"The good thing about Tyler for me is that I've coached him for four-and-a-half years, so I know exactly what he brings to the table, " Woodcroft added. "He's someone that I felt had a really good training camp, and in his last preseason game he got injured and that was unfortunate for him. "But after a lot of work in rehabbing and getting ready, he went down to the American Hockey League on a conditioning assignment and did well down there. He's certainly a good option for us should we put him in the lineup tonight. "Skinner was in the starter's net and looks set to earn his second straight start after making 25 saves in Monday's 4-3 win over Florida. >>> VIEW THE OILERS PROJECTED LINEUP VS.
"We're missing four of our top nine forwards, and I thought the players that went in to take some of those minutes gave us everything they had. They played a great game and they committed to playing the game properly defensively and allowed us to win. "Forward Kailer Yamamoto has participated in the last three practices for the Oilers and could provide a boost to the lineup if the Spokane, Wash. product is able to return on this quick two-game trip.
"Edmonton was a road game for us because we were out, then came back for one, and then obviously now we're back into Chicago and Minnesota tomorrow night. "Between travel, recent results and a tough opponent in the Panthers, Monday's result was an important one as Edmonton now tries to build on its second comeback effort in a row and secure its third straight victory on Wednesday against the Blackhawks -- a team that's fast and skilled but has fallen on hard times with seven straight losses. "I thought it was important for us to get the result last game, " Woodcroft added. "I thought we did some good things and we're going to have to bring those forward against a very dangerous Chicago Blackhawks team.
CHICAGO-- Jamie Umbach, EdmontonOilers. comOILERS at BLACKHAWKSSTREAM: 7:30 p. m. MT; televised on Sportsnet West & 360Oilers Team ScopeThe Edmonton Oilers commence back-to-back games on Wednesday against the Chicago Blackhawks after securing another dramatic comeback win on Monday night over the Florida Panthers to make it two wins in a row for the Blue & Orange. After erasing a three-goal deficit in the third period at Madison Square Garden on Saturday to defeat the New York Rangers, the Oilers equalized through Evan Bouchard with 4. 4 seconds remaining in regulation of Monday's meeting with the Panthers at Rogers Place before the Dynamic Duo of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid connected 22 seconds into extra time.

""We know what we're up against tonight. Their team works. They're well-coached, they've had a little bit of a tough run recently, but they have the skill that can make you pay if you play a sloppy game. "The Oilers last meeting with the Blackhawks met that 'sloppy' criterion with a combined 11 goals and 17 powerplays between the two sides, but a late Leon Draisaitl goal with 38 seconds left in regulation secured the Blue & Orange the two points and bail the Oilers out in a crazy 6-5 win.
"You kind of just worry about the next opponent and whatnot. Even for 500, I didn't really know it was coming and my wife said the other day 'I think it's your 500th game' and I was like 'oh really? ' so we looked it up and figured out it was today. It's a very cool milestone. I'm thankful and grateful to have had the opportunity to play in this league and play 500 of them. Hopefully there's many more. " After getting selected seventh overall at the 2013 NHL Draft, the Hamilton native made his Oilers debut on Oct.
"With time comes maturity and confidence, " said Nurse, who also has three goals and nine assists in 22 games this season. "I don't think those are two things you can really just automatically come into the league and have. There are things you have to earn and build within yourself. In game 500, I have a lot more of both of those. The confidence to come in and play and just be myself, not really caring about other things, I wish I had that when I first got in. But at game 500, I've definitely changed a lot. "Benson Back In The FoldAfter going down with a knee injury at the tail end of Oilers Training Camp back in October, forward Tyler Benson is ready to potentially make his season debut tonight in Chicago.
Video: RAW | Jay Woodcroft 11. 29. 22The Oilers held the Panthers, the only team in the League this season to average over 40 shots per game this season, to only 28 shots while the defence held strong in front of Stuart Skinner with some solid minutes from Edmonton's depth contributors -- including James Hamblin playing just shy of 10 minutes in his NHL debut. The Oilers were missing four of their top nine forwards in the last-gasp win and will continue to rely heavily upon names like Mattias Janmark, Devin Shore and Dylan Holloway to help carry the load for Edmonton up front. "I thought that commitment to defending the heart of our D zone helped us get the win, and that is the way we're going to have to play here, " Woodcroft said.

It's pretty crazy, " Benson said. "To see three guys from the same minor hockey club be in the NHL is one thing, but to be on the same team and playing together, it's a pretty cool moment and we're excited and to see James make it. It's been pretty cool. "Forward Klim Kostin will be unavailable tonight against Chicago as he works through VISA and work permit issues in hopes of getting back into the lineup tomorrow in Minnesota. "Obviously with Klim getting some work permit issues sorted out, Klim won't be an option, but we haven't decided yet where we're going to go if it's going to be eleven-and-seven or twelve-and-six, " Woodcroft said.
