Thanks. #Oilers needed 2nd level scoring support, now with no 97 or 29 they’re being forced to step up, so it’s a good thing as long as those two are alright.
Sounds like they are being cautious and resting him to make sure he’s healthy for playoffs, much like they did with Ekholm according to Coack K.

According to ESPN, last night's 4-nation game averaged over 9.2 Million viewers!!!! It is the most-watched non-Olympic hockey game! Between US and Canada, there were 16.1 million viewers, almost as much as last year's Game 7 final (16.3)!!!
The crazy part is that this was a Thursday weekday game.
