Against all odds, the Vancouver Canucks are one game away from eliminating the Edmonton Oilers.
J.T. Miller scored with 33 seconds left in the game, giving the Canucks a 3-2 win over the Oilers in Game 5.
“I’m just glad we didn’t have to go to overtime, Miller said postgame. “I thought we deserved to win the game today.
The Canucks outshot the Oilers 35-23 and controlled the final 40 minutes of the game.
That had Miller feeling confident that the Canucks were walking away with a victory.
“It was just a matter of time,” Miller said. “There’s resiliency in this group.”
Canucks’ Miller outduels McDavid
It’s been Miller vs. Connor McDavid all series long.
And, the two of them were on the ice in the final minute.
Miller was able to sneak in behind both McDavid and Zach Hyman, while Elias Lindholm held the puck on the right wing.
Elias Pettersson made a crafty play, tipping Lindholm’s shot with his skate. That redirect hit the post, and landed right in Miller’s lap.
The Canucks’ superstar made no mistake, burying the game-winning goal with McDavid chasing.
Coming into this series, Miller was destined to be in this position: battling against McDavid shift after shift on a nightly basis.
The Oilers’ captain has had his looks, but at even-strength, the Canucks have outscored McDavid 3-0 with Miller on the ice.
