THIRD PERIOD

0.0: THAT IS IT!!! What an effort to respond by the Edmonton Oilers, who win Game 4 decisively 4-1 to even the series at 2-2. McDavid gets two assists to cross 170 points for the entire season, which has only happened twice in NHL history. Nick Bjugstad scores a big goal, along with Evan Bouchard for his fourth and Mattias Ekholm’s first playoff goal since April of 2018! See you in Vegas on FRI-DAY NIGHT!

24.1: Vegas on full tilt now as Brett Howden sweeps the legs of Stuart Skinner not once, but twice. See yourself out.

49.7: HUUUUUGE tilt between Nicolas Hague and Darnell Nurse! Heavy metal hockey here in the Playoffs!

1:27: Gutless two-handed slash by Alex Pietrangelo on Leon Draisaitl results in a five-minute major for slashing, an ejection and a possible suspension. You’re down three goals in the final minute-and-a-half, there’s no need for it.

2:05: The Vegas net is empty!

5:47: A sloppy Too Many Men penalty for Vegas sends Edmonton back to the power play!

7:05: Yamamoto and Stephenson were just given misconducts. Not sure what for, but they’re out of the game.

9:18: Kolesar gets two minutes for elbowing, delivered against Desharnais. Edmonton’s fourth power play!

14:02: Nicolas Roy roofs one to pull a goal back for Vegas. | EDM 4, VGK 1

20:00: The third period is underway!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: The Oilers extend their lead that period and lead by four through 40 minutes!

3:32: Vinny Desharnais sends it over the glass for a Delay of Game.

5:14: NUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!! HIS FIRST OF THE PLAYOFFS AND ROGERS PLACE LOSES IT!!! McDavid found him wide open in between the hashmarks to snipe the 4-0 goal low blocker on Hill! | EDM 4, VGK 0

9:58: Delay of Game: Trapezoid Violation for Stuart Skinner. First time we’ve seen that call all year, but it was outside the zone.

12:03: Zach Hyman interferes with Mark Stone off the faceoff. Two minutes in the box for No. 18.

16:28: William Carrier comes through with the stick and catches Darnell Nurse up high for a high-sticking penalty!

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: That’s the kind of response we needed, up 3-0 after 20 minutes.

1:31: Coincidental roughing penalties to Brett Kulak and Keegan Kolesar.

6:30: EKH-HELLO I’M HOME!!! The Swede goes top shelf with a slapshot from inside the left circle!!! Three-goal game in the first frame! | EDM 3, VGK 0

12:22: BOUCHARD DROPS THE BOMB! UNSTOPPABLE!!! He rips a blast that beats Hill clean on the blocker side for a two-goal Oilers lead and his fourth of the postseason! McDavid and Nuuuuuugent-Hopkins get the helpers. | EDM 2, VGK 0

12:31: Klim Kostin takes a shot from Shea Theodore with the stick for a slashing penalty!

13:14: BJUGGY ON THE BEAT!!! A great turnover by the duo of Kostin and Bjugstad leads to No. 72 wrapping one around the net and beyond Adin Hill! | EDM 1, VGK 0

15:56: A brilliant kill and a shift in the early momentum brings the Oilers to their first power play. It’s slashing on Connor McDavid by Shea Theodore.

19:36: An early tripping penalty to Ryan McLeod draws boo’s from the crowd. We got to the penalty kill inside the first minute.

20:00: GAME ON IN GAME 4!!! Let’s even this up.

20:00: Warm-ups for Game 3 are underway at Rogers Place.
