The Edmonton Oilers simply didn’t have it in this one, as they lost to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night (Jan. 18) by a score of 3-2. The theme of the past few games was falling behind early and battling back.

The Wild got early goals from Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi, and a second period goal from Ryan Hartman, but could not hold their leads, despite testing Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard repeatedly.

J.T. Miller came very close to being held out of the Vancouver Canucks’ game against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. That’s according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, who reported live on Hockey Day in Canada that the Canucks came very close to trading Miller.

With all the noise swirling around their team, all the acrimony that’s apparently driven the J.T. Miller experience to a finish, you would not have been surprised to see the Edmonton Oilers simply blow the Vancouver Canucks out of the water on Saturday night at Rogers Arena.

Matt Boldy, Marco Rossi and Ryan Hartman scored for Minnesota, which has lost three of four as it deals with major injuries.
