The New York Rangers loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday was the direct result of a lost faceoff. With less than two minutes in the game, Brady Skjei iced the puck and Bo Horvat won the ensuing faceoff, beating Mika Zibanejad cleanly. Seconds later, the Canucks were celebrating.
Just look at the debacle in Edmonton. There were three goals scored by the Oilers within seconds of a lost draw.
The Oilers scored 11 seconds after Connor McDavid beat Zibanejad on the opening faceoff in center ice. James Neal scored eight seconds after Zibanejad lost a defensive zone draw to Leon Draisaitl.
