2:26: Bruins with a 5-on-3. Desharnais called for slashing.
4:30: Klim Kostin is called for a double-minor high sticking call. Bruins on the power play for most of the remainder of the game.
7:06: Klim Kostin is intially called for a 5-minute major for a hit on Krejci, but upon review it was Krejci’s own stick that caught him in the face.
12:32: Oilers jam away on Swayman, but the Bruins goalie holds the fort. Shots currently dead even at 20-20.
20:00: Twenty minutes to get the win! Puck dropped!
SECOND PERIOD
0:00: Period over. McDavid hits a milestone, but Boston takes the lead late.
0:29: Bruins back on top. Pavel Zacha pokes at a loose puck and it bounces over Skinner. EDM 2 | BOS 3
McDavid the fastest to 50 goals since 1996 and the 2nd Oiler ever to reel off four straight multi-goal games (Gretzky, ‘84).
Oilers in search of their 5th win when trailing after two this year. Bruins 31-0-2 when leading after 40.
