THIRD PERIOD

0.0: REGULAR SEASON OVER!!! And it ends with a ‘W’. Edmonton heads to the post-season riding a nine-game win streak, having won their 50th game of the season for only the fourth time in franchise history. It all means nothing if we can’t get business done in the playoffs, which begin early next week. We wait to find out who we’ll play in the first round. See you in the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

4:05: KANE CASHES IN!!! The forward makes it 5-2 in front off Draisaitl’s nice feed — his second assist and third point. | EDM 5, SJS 2

19:42: Kane delivers a retaliatory cross-check that draws two minutes in the box.

20:00: The third period is underway for the last time this regular season!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: The Oilers lead by two goals heading into the final frame.

1:11: Tomas Hertl’s shot takes a fortunate deflection of the stick of Steven Lorentz and in. | EDM 4, SJS 2

3:11: Kostin trips up a Shark and takes a penalty before apologizing. He accidentally swung through with his leg.

5:56: JANMARK WITH A SHORTHANDED BEAUTY!!! Wide open on a breakaway, the Janitor uses a sneaky five-hole backhand that beats Reimer for a three-goal Oilers lead and his 10th of the season — the 12th Oiler to hit double-digits! That’s his second point of the evening, with Derek Ryan providing an assist in his 500th NHL game. | EDM 4, SJS 1

7:15: Evander Kane goes off for interference.

14:58: BOUCHARD!!! The defender scores off a sick no-look feed from Draisaitl, who collects his second point of the game while Kailer Yamamoto gets the secondary helper. | EDM 3, SJS 1

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: The first period is over!

4:59: Warren Foegele swings and misses to take a tripping penalty.

10:16: Noah Gregor roofs one from the left of Edmonton’s goal to cut into the lead. | EDM 2, SJS 1

13:04: EASY PPG!!! Nugent-Hopkins sauces one across the crease to Leon Draisaitl, who nets his 32nd power-play goal of the campaign and 52nd overall by putting it into the open net for Edmonton’s franchise-best 89th PPG this campaign. Connor McDavid moves up to 153 points with the assist. | EDM 2, SJS 0

14:33: A Kevin Labanc boarding call on Vincent Desharnais was initially given as a five-minute major, but after review, it’s turned into a two-minute minor. The Oilers head to the power play!

15:44: JANMARK OPENS THE SCORING!!! James Reimer tried to poke-check it away from the Swede, but it went off his leg and over the line to make it 1-0 Oilers. Another Mattias in Ekholm got the primary assist, while STUART SKINNER also picks up a helper from 200-feet away! What can’t this guy do? | EDM 1, SJS 0

20:00: GAME ON!!! Last one of the regular season!

20:00: Warm-ups are underway at Rogers Place.
