Tyson Barrie Converts on Power Play, Scores Game-Winner
4 years agoEdmonton Oilers defenseman Tyson Barrie kicked off the scoring on Saturday, slipping the puck past Connor Hellebuyck to score what would turn out to be the game-winning goal in a 3-0 win over Winnipeg. Barrie's tally came on the power play with assists from Connor McDavid and Kailer Yamamoto. Skating on Edmonton's top power-play unit is the definition of prime deployment, as the Oilers are converting on 27 percent of their power-play opportunities, which is the third-best rate in the league. Edmonton also has the second-highest power-play goals scored per game rate at 0.88 goals per game. Edmonton only has two games this upcoming week though so Barrie might be a better target in daily formats this week.
