THIRD PERIOD
0.0: GAME OVER!!! That’s four straight for Edmonton and four in a row over Pacific Division opponents with Tuesday’s 5-2 final over the Seattle Kraken. The Tampa Bay Lightning come into Rogers Place for the Oilers next game on Thursday — see you then!
1:42: Tanev is chopped down by Desharnais off a faceoff. Late PP for the Kraken with the Oilers up by three.
10:42: CLOUDER TAPS IT IN!!! With Jones sliding to his right from the failed cross-crease feed from Hyman to Holloway, Clouder is in the right place to easily push his sixth goal of the season over the line for a three-goal Oilers lead. Holloway’s assist marks his first-ever multi-point game! | EDM 5, SEA 2

18:01: Edmonton now heads to the PP with Jared McCann off for hooking!
18:37: IT’S AN OWN GOAL!!!! Eeli Tolvanen pokes it into his own net and the credit goes to Zach Hyman, who had the last Oilers touch. A fortunate break for Edmonton to get a goal back that Campbell would’ve wanted to have back. | EDM 4, SEA 2

16:45: DEREK RYAN TAPS IT IN!!! Desharnais’ shot trickled through Martin Jones, and Ryan was the fastest to the loose puck in the crease for the tap-in go-ahead Oilers goal. Desharnais picks up his second-career NHL assist while Holloway gets the secondary helper. | EDM 2, SEA 1
