Knoblauch’s Big Mistake in Oilers' Game 1 Win 🏒

About this video

The Edmonton Oilers take a 1-0 series lead over the Anaheim Ducks, but they did it in the most unexpected way possible.

In today's episode, Nick Zararis breaks down a wild 4-3 Victory Tuesday. For the first time all year, the Oilers won a game without a point from Connor McDavid.

While the stars were quiet on the scoresheet, the depth arrived in a big way: Jason Dickinson and Kasperi Kapanen both potted a pair, with Kapanen netting the dramatic game-winner.

Nick also "picks some nits" regarding the defensive lapses in the second period, Darnell Nurse’s "egregious" penalty, and why Kris Knoblauch needs to stop leaning on his "emotional support" lines when the chips are down. Plus, a look ahead to Game 2: Why targeting Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas is the key to a 2-0 lead
