16:03: PATRICK PERFECT! The Jurco-Marody-Russell line strikes again as the three facilitate a great passing play. Jurco dished to Marody in the low circle and Marody gave it to Russell in the slot, who went blocker side on Demko. All three skaters have two points on the night. | EDM 2, VAN 1

11:54: Cooper Marody looks for Nurse heading to the net but the defenceman doesn’t get enough lumber on the puck.

16:55: Russell gets two minutes in the sin bin for hooking Tyler Graovac. Oilers to the kill for the second time tonight.
