![]() Ditto for Shore, who saw just 7:30 of ice in his first NHL action since New Year’s Eve. Hard to explain why he didn’t get more ice on a day Oilers skating a player short for the second straight game due to an injury to Evander Kane and eventually running on fumes in the Mile High City. Recorded 2 shots, 2 hits, 1 assist and +1 in that limited time. Played just 8:15, during which the Oilers outshot the Avalanche 9-2 and outscored them 1-0. Was the only Oiler who managed to draw a penalty. Burned by Nathan MacKinnon and then unable to deal with the aftermath on the horrific overtime sequence that resulted in 4 Avs shots in a 1-second span, all of them within 7 feet of the net. Lost a battle and got caught on the wrong side of the ice on the 5-4. Very involved in this game with 8 shot attempts (3 on net) and 5 hits including a couple of beauties. Make it 20 goals against over the course of their current 4-game winless skid, and the problem is clear. Suffice to say, this game was there for the winning, but once again the Oilers could not find a way to seal the deal. By way of contrast, Natural Stat Trick had the Oilers with 58% of the High Danger Chances and 57% of the Expected Goals.
