Oilers Blank Maple Leafs 1-0 as Levi Makes 19 Saves for First NHL Shutout
TORONTO, Canada — The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 1-0 on Saturday night, November 14, at Scotiabank Arena, winning their fourth straight game to improve to 15-3-3 and opening a six-game road trip with a shutout.
The game's only goal came at 15:34 of the second period, when Evan Bouchard took a backhand pass from Connor McDavid at the point and beat Anthony Stolarz glove side with a slap shot through traffic. It was Bouchard's 12th goal of the season, assisted by McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. The assist extended McDavid's season-opening point streak to 21 games.
Devon Levi made 19 saves for the first shutout of his NHL career. Stolarz made 22 saves for Toronto. One minute into the third period, John Tavares appeared to tie the game, but video review confirmed he deflected the puck with his stick above the crossbar, and the goal was disallowed.
Toronto lost its sixth straight game to fall to 8-12-2, going winless across a six-game homestand for the first time in team history. The season series is tied 1-1 after Toronto's 7-2 win in Edmonton on October 24.
Edmonton continues its road trip at the Philadelphia Flyers.
