77.8
32
Years since the last time the Oilers and Canucks faced each other in the playoffs.
+3
Rating by Canucks forward Dakota Joshua, who had a goal and two assists in 14:30 of ice time, compared to a minus-3 rating for both of the Oilers defensive pairing of Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci.
3
Goal-lead blown by the Oilers with 26:49 left in the game.
3
Times the Canucks went on the power play, only to come up empty handed as the Oilers penalty kill has gone a perfect 15-for-15 so far in the playoffs.
2
Goals by Oilers forward Zach Hyman to reclaim the league lead with nine so far in the playoffs.
1
Power-play goal on their only man-advantage of the game for the Oilers, who have converted on 10 of 21 power plays so far in the playoffs.
.792
Stuart Skinner’s atrocious save percentage in the loss, stopping 19 of 24 shots.
.778

0
Shots on goal by Oilers captain Connor McDavid, who was minus-1 in the game and held to a single assist. While it kept him on top as the playoffs points leader with 13 (one goal, 12 assists) in six games, the Canucks were successful in otherwise making him a non-factor.
