45.0: EMPTY-NETTER JOSH ARCHIBALD! EDM 4, LAK 2

7:52: Haas is tripped by Dustin Brown and the Oilers are heading back to the PP for only the second time this contest.

14:30: Draisaitl denied by Petersen in close with Yamamoto providing the dish.

19:11: Dustin Brown goes up top on LA’s first 2-on-1 of the game. One-goal contest. EDM 3, LAK 2

20:00: Final frame has begun. We’ve got 20 minutes to close this out!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: A little bit of McDavid magic highlights a three-goal second period. We’re up by two after two.

1:21: Kopitar roofs it on the PP to pull the Kings back into this one. EDM 3, LAK 1

2:04: Draisaitl gets the stick up. That’ll be two for high-sticking.

3:46: WELCOME. BACK. CONNOR. On the 2-on-1, the captain takes it all the way himself and completely undresses Petersen. That’s two points for McDavid in his return and Patrick Russell picks up the only helper with some incredible puck retrieval. EDM 3, LAK 0

5:17: How did that not go in?! Bear outworks the Kings in the defensive end and gets the puck up to Nugent-Hopkins and Draisaitl, but the tandem can’t cash in after three good whacks!

6:20: McDavid in alone on a breakaway but loses his handle on the puck thanks to Drew Doughty getting his stick in the hands of the captain.

9:35: OFF THE POST! Draisaitl beats Petersen with Nurse on a 2-on-1 but the netminder got enough of it to send it off the iron.

11:20: SMITH AGAIN! Terrific save in Adrian Kempe as the forward got behind the Oilers defence.

14:33: NUGE WITH THE DEFLECTION!!! Kailer Yamamoto works to get the puck up to Caleb Jones on the blueline, and Nuge comes up with the smooth deflection on the ensuing shot to go back across the sliding Petersen. Give Jones two assists on the night the Nuge 18 goals on the year. That’s huge. EDM 2, LAK 0

15:35: Good neutral zone pressure from the Oilers defence springs McDavid, but Petersen snaps the leather.

17:46: Mike Smith makes not one, two but three saves in succession as the Kings come out of the intermission with pressure.

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: There wasn’t much to report in that opening period, until there was. The Dynamic Duo connects with the man advantage to put the Oilers ahead by a goal through 20 minutes.

30.5: THE DYNAMIC DUO! Welcome back, Connor McDavid as the duo connects on the PP to put the Oielrs ahead late in the first period. Draisaitl drops to McDavid inside the circles and feeds it back to the German for the deadly one-timer. It’s goal #36 and poitn #9 for Draisaitl. EDM 1, LAK 0

7:51: Shots 4-3 in favour of Edmonton as we’re more than halfway through the first period.
