Oilers’ goalie Stuart Skinner leaves game briefly after collision with Bruins’ Nikita Zadorov

Associated Press  

BOSTON — Boston defenseman Nikita Zadorov wanted to make sure he apologized to Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner as soon as he saw him. Skinner left Tuesday night’s game in Boston late in the first period after a hard collision with Zadorov, but was back on the ice for the start of the second period in the Oilers’ 4-0 victory. It happened.” Zadorov said he didn’t want to hurt Skinner. I wouldn’t want anybody to do that to my goalie either, so I felt like it was fair to say that there was no intention to hurt him over there or anything like that.” Zadorov was trying to cut in front of the net with the puck and was inside Oilers’ defenseman Brett Kulak when he collided with the goalie, sending his mask flying off when he went face first onto the ice.
