Mathieu Joseph collected his 100th career assist while setting up Owen Michaels with his first NHL goal last night 🍎
@ Via @EdmontonOilers on X
What happened: Joseph logged the 100th assist of his career on the setup for Owen Michaels' first NHL goal. The play came in Edmonton's 9-7 final over Vancouver.
Why it matters: The marker gives Mathieu Joseph a personal milestone on a night that also put Michaels on the preseason board. Michaels had already been slotted into Edmonton's top line in Vancouver, and the finish strengthens his case as camp decisions get closer.
By the numbers: Joseph's helper was the 100th assist of his career, and Michaels turned it into his first NHL goal.
What to watch: The next question is whether Michaels earns another prominent preseason look as Edmonton trims its roster. Joseph's role alongside that group is also worth tracking deeper into camp.
