Flames vs. Oilers Recap: Jarry Shutout, McDavid and Bouchard Assists

The Oilers shut out the Flames 4-0 in Edmonton on Wednesday night. Tristan Jarry stopped all 24 shots he faced, and Edmonton outshot Calgary 32-24. Mathieu Joseph opened the scoring at 7:46 of the 1st, Mattias Ekholm made it 2-0 at 4:52 of the 2nd, and the Oilers put it away with two goals 21 seconds apart early in the 3rd: Kasperi Kapanen on the power play at 0:55 and Alex Formenton at 1:16. Calgary used two goalies. Dustin Wolf made 20 saves on 23 shots and Devin Cooley made 8 saves on 9 shots. Three DARIMARKET plays cashed on this game.

What cashed

Evan Bouchard 1+ assists (-170 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Bouchard had an assist in 10 of 12 games (14 assists) while playing 26-32 minutes a night on the top power play. - What happened: Bouchard picked up 1 assist on Joseph's opening goal at 7:46 of the 1st, clearing the line by 0.5. He added 4 shots on goal and 2 blocks in 22:12, with 1:32 on the power play. - Worth watching: His ice time came in well under the range in our read, and he still got there early. If his minutes run back up toward that range, the assist angle has even more room.

Connor McDavid 1+ assists (-275 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: McDavid had an assist in all 12 games this season (26 assists) and 16 of his last 20. - What happened: McDavid had 2 assists, on Joseph's goal in the 1st and Kapanen's power-play goal at 0:55 of the 3rd. That cleared the line by 1.5. He also had 3 shots on goal in 18:50. - Worth watching: He keeps creating at even strength and on the power play. The price is the issue: at -275 there is little room, and our read set a pass point past -300.

Yegor Sharangovich under 1.5 shots on goal (-115 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Sharangovich had one or fewer shots in 8 of 11 games, 7 of his last 10 and 4 of his last 5, playing second-line and PP2 minutes. - What happened: He finished with 1 shot on goal in 11:58, with 0:29 on the power play, staying 0.5 under the line. Calgary as a team managed 24 shots and no goals. - Worth watching: His ice time was light, which is exactly what keeps a shot under in play. If his minutes stay in this range, the under is worth another look at a fair price.

How the game played out

This one was settled by goaltending and the start of the 3rd. Edmonton led 2-0 after two periods, then scored twice in the first 1:16 of the 3rd to end it. The Oilers scored once on 2 power plays, while Calgary came up empty on its only chance. Jarry finished with a 24-save shutout.

Trends to watch

• Goalie workload: Jarry handled all 24 Calgary shots without allowing a goal, so this was a goalie night more than a quiet one.
• McDavid and Bouchard: the two combined for 3 assists, and both were on the opening goal. Both of their props were settled by the 1st-period goal.
• Physical game: Edmonton was credited with 28 hits to Calgary's 19.
