SECOND PERIOD

1:39: Markus Granlund is whistled for hooking. The Kings get their first power play of the evening.

5:14: POWER-PLAY PERFECTION! McDavid goes to Chiasson on the doorstep and he keeps his blade open for an easy tap-in. That’s the winger’s third goal of the season, as the Oilers go 2-for-2 on the man advantage so far tonight. McDavid and Draisaitl get the helpers. | EDM 2, LAK 0

5:39: Joakim Nygard is hauled down by Sean Walker. The Oilers go back to the power play as Walker goes off for hooking.

5:55: Blake Lizotte dumps Kempe’s rebound in to settle the score at 1-1 but Oilers Head Coach Dave Tippett challenges the play for offside and wins the call! This one gets reversed.

8:58: L50N! Leon Draisaitl, the 50-goal scorer from just a season prior, zips the puck on net from the half wall and it catches a deflection off Drew Doughty’s skate to go in. Draisaitl nabs goal No. 19 on the season, tying him with McDavid. Assists go to Alex Chiasson and James Neal. | EDM 1, LAK 0

9:50: Adrian Kempe holds up Kris Russell along the boards to warrant a holding minor. Edmonton, who is 15-for-42 on the power play in the last 14 games and 13-4-1 when they score a PP goal, goes to the man advantage.

20:00: Tonight’s game has begun!
