And time for our sit-down one-on-one conversation with Edmonton Oilers head coach Chris Knobloch. Chris, final couple games, back-to-back nights against Canadian teams to close out the pre-Olympic schedule. Just a thought on what your group is looking to accomplish here against Toronto and against Gallagher.
Well, obviously, the goal is to get two wins, and it'd be nice to get those two wins and head into the break feeling good about ourselves and, you know, moving up in the standings. You know, to do that, the focus will be defending, limiting our goals against because, frankly, the last five games has been too high.
Yeah, 25 goals against over the course of the last five games. You have scored a lot. You're number three in the league in goals four and you're number one in the league in the power play and you did beat Toronto earlier this year. In an odd game, a 6-3 end result victory for you. You gave up a goal like in the final 40 seconds off a set piece. And I know that was part of a road trip where you got some wins and three times on that trip you gave up goals late in games. But, you know, you're going to go with Conor Ingram tonight. Just a thought to, you know, needing things just to be settled and calm in there.
Yeah, obviously we want our, you know, goaltending is such an important part of the game. And if your goaltenders are playing well, then you've got an outstanding opportunity to win games most times. And, you know, getting our goaltenders to play well is having certainty in front of them. And that's playing good defense and limiting the type of chances and how many. And right now, I don't think we've put our goalies in a very good position to get their game at where it should be.
