J.T. Miller Lays Huge Open-Ice Hit on Leon Draisaitl
The Vancouver Canucks visited the Edmonton Oilers in the Oilers' home opener yesterday. Following their recent 8-1 defeat at the hands of the same Canucks, expectations were high for the Oilers to put a great performance.
At first, it appeared as though the Oilers had the advantage, quickly scoring a goal within the game's first minute.
Nonetheless, the Canucks staged a comeback, ultimately emerging victorious with a 4-3 win.
Adding further excitement to the match, Canucks' forward J.T. Miller delivered a crushing open-ice hit to Leon Draisaitl.
Challenging Start to the Season for the Oilers
The Oilers' season kickoff did not go as planned. They now find themselves with a 0-2 record, both losses coming against a team not widely anticipated to secure a playoff spot.
The franchise is driven by a burning desire for a Stanley Cup victory. Following several disappointing playoff eliminations, the mantra in Edmonton is now "Cup or Bust."
The Oilers will try to rebound and secure their first win of the season in their upcoming matchup against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.
Do you think the Canucks will make the playoffs?
