Roslovic Weighs in on What Makes the Oilers’ Attack Dangerous
The Edmonton Oilers didn’t just score six goals in their 6-0 shutout win over the Vancouver Canucks. They also flipped the game on its head in the second period. And Jack Roslovic was right in the middle of it.
After potting two goals, Roslovic didn’t talk about systems or structure. He talked about belief. “Our team definitely has it,” he said afterward, pointing to the Oilers’ ability to keep pushing, even when things hadn’t come easily the night before. That confidence showed once the floodgates opened. The goals didn’t feel forced — they came from pressure, energy, and players trusting the offence would come if they stayed on it.
Roslovic’s Goals Showed His Value to the Oilers
For Roslovic, the night also marked a return to form. Before missing 11 games with injury, he’d been on a scoring tear. Getting back on the board felt less like a breakout and more like a continuation of his form. Asked whether this could spark another run, he smiled and shrugged it off — but you could hear the optimism underneath. Sometimes it really is just about seeing one go in.
A big part of that came from his line finally getting rewarded. Roslovic admitted they’d been close for a while. Chances were there. The finish wasn’t. On this night, though, it clicked. “We’ve got two young guys with so much energy and passion,” he said. “It’s been really fun to play with them.” That energy wasn’t just on the scoresheet — it drove the Oilers’ relentless attack wave after wave.
The 6-0 Win Over the Canucks Showed the Oilers’ Scoring Prowess
What made the night stand out wasn’t just Roslovic’s pair of goals. It was the reminder that Edmonton can score in bunches without leaning on one look or one player. Lines broke through. Players stepped up. The offence felt layered, not top-heavy.
Six goals don’t happen by accident. And when a player like Roslovic talks about belief instead of relief, it tells you something about where this team thinks it’s headed.
