The Oilers haven't been as dominant this season as they have in recent years, but make no mistake -- any team with guys like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on the roster is still going to be a massive threat offensively.

The Oilers sure pushed in the Penguins' 6-2 win on Thursday night, peppering Arturs Silovs with 32 shots, including four from Draisaitl and four from former 50-goal scorer Zach Hyman. But Silovs did his part to keep Edmonton's big guns off the scoresheet, stopping 30 of 32 shots in the win.

Silovs' finest moment might have been the save he made in the final seconds of the first period, even if he ended up needing a little help from one of his defensemen, too.

Hyman was sprung on a breakaway and put a backhand shot on net that Silovs kept out. But the puck then hit the post, bounced into him as he was sliding, and landed on the goal line. Silovs reached back for it just as Parker Wotherspoon swept in with his stick, and Wotherspoon kept it from trickling over the line as Silovs covered the puck:

"It went through my armpit and bounced a little bit at the post," Silovs recalled. "Spoons was there coming back, and I think it was a great backcheck, helping me out and getting the puck away from the goal."

That shot was one of six high-danger shots that Silovs stopped. He was part of the Penguins shutting down the Oilers' top-ranked power play, stopping a pair of shots from Draisaitl, one from McDavid and one from Evan Bouchard while the Oilers were on the man advantage.

"There were some huge saves there throughout the entire game," Dan Muse said. "And I thought it was another game where it was big saves, but also at big moments where maybe the momentum could have really swung the other way. And he came up big. I thought it was a really strong game for him."

Silovs credited his teammates in front of him for coming up with some big blocked shots too, something that made his job easier and also "boosted our morale." He also cited the way they "exploded" offensively to open the game as something that helped him, too.

Silovs definitely didn't do it alone. But he stepped up against a good team and kept generational talents quiet in a big win.

"I felt great," he said. "You know, you have to respect these guys. They have a lot of talents, a really dangerous power play. It's just shutting them down, taking this time and space from them away, so they have to make difficult plays."
