13:26: THE CAPTAIN! McDavid makes it three points on the night, putting back a rebound in front. The Oilers are swimming away with this one as they lead 5-1 in the third. Nurse and Draisaitl get the assists as McDavid now has 20 points in his last eight outings. | EDM 5, SJ 1
13:40: The Oilers kill McDavid’s minor and are now 22-for-22 on the PK in their last six games.

SECOND PERIOD
0.0: Edmonton gets a power-play tally from Neal in the second to take a three-goal lead into the third against San Jose. After allowing 18 shots on goal in the first, the Oilers give up only seven in the second and Koskinen saved them all. The Orange & Blue will have 59 seconds of man-advantage time to open the third.
1:01: The Oilers go back to the power play as Brenden Dillon interferes with Draisaitl.
2:41: THE REAL DEAL. HIS NAME IS JAMES NEAL! McDavid places the puck on James Neal’s blade and it redirects in for his 13th of the season and NINTH power-play marker. McDavid and Klefbom grab their second apples of the night on the goal. | EDM 4, SJ 1
3:40: The Dynamic Duo work their magic, with McDavid feeding Draisaitl for a partial break then Draisaitl finding McDavid with open ice for an individual effort. Neither finds twine but they do draw a hooking minor from Mario Ferraro. The Oilers get their first power play of the night.
6:22: The Oilers get hemmed in their own zone but Koskinen keeps the door shut then covers the puck to get a whistle.
9:21: News comes down that Matt Benning (upper body) will not return to action in tonight’s game. The Oilers will roll five defenders now.
13:06: Leon Draisaitl makes a great backhand pass to an incoming Nurse on the rush but he zings a wrist shot wide.

20:00: The second period has begun in San Jose!
FIRST PERIOD
0.0: A rollercoaster first period concludes with the Oilers up 3-1 despite being out-shot 18-9. The goals come from Granlund, Kassian and Khaira while Koskinen has stood tall with 17 stops.
14.6: TAKIN’ KHAIRA BUSINESS! Jujhar Khaira sees a maze of bodies in front and decides to pick the top corner from the blueline to regain the Oilers two-goal advantage. He now has three goals in his last two games and four on the year. | EDM 3, SJ 1
5:26: Edmonton kills Kassian’s minor then get to work in the other end but can’t beat Jones.
9:41: Kassian gets called for hooking. The Oilers first-ranked road PK goes to work.
10:37: The Sharks throw everything at the net and get a lucky bounce as Kevin Labanc scores his seventh of the year. | EDM 2, SJ 1
12:01: KASS ATTACK! Kassian mucks one in that JUST barely crosses the line to give the Oilers a two-goal advantage in the first. That’s his eighth of the year, with the helpers going to McDavid and Darnell Nurse. | EDM 2, SJ 0
13:04: The Sharks turn the tide up ice but Mikko Koskinen rides the wave. He stops Joe Thornton’s backhander off the rush then Marcus Sorenson’s one-timer from the slot. Koskinen has six saves tonight already.
16:26: SWEDE PASS FOR THE FINNISH! Oscar Klefbom walks in from the point and finds Markus Granlund on the wing with an open net to notch his first of the year and second point. That’s five assists in his last three games for Klefbom while Granlund tallies his first as an Oiler. Gaëtan Haas gets the secondary assist. | EDM 1, SJ 0
17:12: McDavid curls behind the Sharks’ net and looks to tuck one in with a wraparound but can’t get it to go on Martin Jones.
18:43: The Oilers come out to a much better start than a week ago, as Zack Kassian and Connor McDavid encroached on a 2-on-1 but Kassian ran out of real estate to work with.
20:00: Tonight’s game is under way!
