| | | EDMONTON: LAST SEASON: 24-44-14, 62 points. Missed playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan (seven NHL seasons, 311-163-66).
ADDED: D Eric Gryba, LW Lauri Korpikoski, C Mark Letestu, C
Connor McDavid, G Anders Nilsson, D Griffin Reinhart, D Andrej
Sekera, G Cam Talbot.
LOST: G Viktor Fasth, RW Matt Fraser, C Boyd Gordon, D Martin
Marincin, RW Steve Pinizzotto.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Connor McDavid. Yes, the Oilers have brought in
seven other players, but all eyes are going to be on the No. 1
overall draft pick as the team tries to reach the playoffs for
the first time since 2005-06. The 18-year old recorded 120
points (44 goals, 76 assists) in 47 games with the Erie Otters -
and he missed time last season due to a broken hand and his
international duties playing for Team Canada at the World Junior
Hockey Championships.
OUTLOOK: Edmonton now has experienced personnel in CEO Bob
Nicholson, GM Peter Chiarelli and coach Todd McLean. The
selection of McDavid was a no-brainer, and the additions of
goaltender Cam Talbot and defensemen Andrej Sekera, Eric Gryba
and Griffin Reinhart are upgrades. The Oilers may not be a
playoff team this season, but they won't be a contender for the
first overall pick in next June's draft either. | | MONTREAL: MONTREAL CANADIENS
LAST SEASON: 50-22-10, 110 points. Won Atlantic Division. Lost
to Tampa Bay Lightning in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Michel Therrien, 11th NHL season,
ADDED: D Mark Barberio, RW Zack Kassian, RW Alex Semin.
LOST: D Sergei Gonchar, C Manny Malhotra, RW P.A. Parenteau, LW
Brandon Prust, D Mike Weaver.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Semin. Despite finishing a mere three
points behind the New York Rangers for the Presidents' Trophy,
Montreal was not an offensive powerhouse in 2014-15. The
Canadiens finished last season having scored 214 goals, an
average of 2.61 per game, and their power play ranked 23rd in
the NHL. Semin, signed to a one-year, $1.1 million contract will
be asked to do more in Montreal after scoring just six goals in
57 games last season with Carolina.
OUTLOOK: Montreal and its deep roster with standout goaltender
Carey Price should make another run in the playoffs - maybe even
a deep run. All Price accomplished in 2014-15 was to lead the
NHL in save percentage (.933), goals-against average (1.96) and
wins (44), earning the Hart Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award, Vezina
Trophy and Jennings Trophy in the process. |
| | Oilers-Canadiens Preview By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
The return of Connor McDavid has momentarily revitalized the Edmonton Oilers' offense. Issues on both ends of the ice continue to plague the reeling Montreal Canadiens. Looking for a third straight victory since the All-Star break, the Oilers can also continue their success in this series by extending the Canadiens' longest regulation home skid in 14 seasons Saturday. Two days after returning from a 37-game absence to record a goal with two assists in a 5-1 win over Columbus, McDavid had two more assists as Edmonton (21-26-5) equaled its highest-scoring game of the season with Thursday's 7-2 rout of Ottawa. The 2015 top overall pick has six goals and 11 assists in 15 games. "Connor is a big part of it, but it takes a group to win," Oilers coach Todd McLellan told the NHL's official website. "It doesn't matter how good you are." The Oilers averaged 2.2 goals and converted 14 percent of their power-play chances while McDavid missed almost three months with a broken clavicle. They're 5 for 6 with the man advantage in the last two games, and forward Jordan Eberle has three goals with two assists while playing on McDavid's line this week. ''The thing that impresses me most about (McDavid's) game is he always makes the simple play,'' Eberle said. Though Edmonton remains at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, McDavid's presence has provided some hope. He had two assists in a 4-3 win over Montreal (24-24-4) on Oct. 29. "If you look at the standings it's pretty simple, we need to win some hockey games if you want to make a push at something," said Eberle. "This is a start." The only other time Edmonton claimed back-to-back road victories was Oct. 17 and 18. The Oilers have won four straight overall and on the road against Montreal, where they've earned at least one point in the last eight visits. The same club that opened 9-0-0, the Canadiens have dropped four straight while mired in a 5-20-1 rut. They continue to hear it from a frustrated fan base that's watched them lose five consecutive at home in regulation for the first time since a seven-game slide in 2000-01. "We feel bad for them,'' said forward Dale Weise, who snapped a nine-game goal drought in Wednesday's 4-2 home loss to Buffalo. ''The fans pay a lot of money to come and watch games and we respect them if they want to boo or not.'' The Canadiens averaged 3.4 goals during a 19-4-3 start, but 1.9 in the last 26. Carey Price, meanwhile, continues to deal with a leg injury that's kept him out since Nov 25. Montreal has yielded an average of 3.1 goals in 29 games since Price went down, and at least four in all but one of the last eight. Its last three opponents went 5 for 10 on the power play. "The message relayed from up top to us players is that we have to stick together in times like this," captain Max Pacioretty told the Canadiens' official website. Pacioretty leads all Montreal forwards with 37 points, but his assist Wednesday snapped a five-game point drought. Grinding forward Zack Kassian, who has a goal with an assist in two games, faces the Canadiens for the first time since they traded him to Edmonton on Dec. 28. Kassian was suspended and placed in Stage 2 of the Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program (SABH) of the NHL and the NHLPA after he was injured in a car accident in Montreal prior to the start of this season. |
