THIRD PERIOD

0.0: LA BAMBA ON REPEAT!!! Make that three in a row for the Oilers, who improve to 8-1-0 on the season for the second time in franchise history with a 5-2 victory over Nashville. Leon Draisaitl takes the league-lead for points with a three-point night, increasing his total to nine goals and 11 assists in nine games. We’ll look to make it a 3-0 homestand on Friday, when Kevin Lowe’s #4 goes to the rafters.

3:10: EMPTY-NETTER ENDS IT!!! Draisaitl, staring down a hat trick, unselfishly passes off to Puljujarvi to score his third goal of the season. It’s a three-point night for Leon, with Bouchard chipping in with an assist. | EDM 5, NSH 2

4:01: Ryan Johansen gets one back for the Preds as the penalty to Foegele winded down. Tw0-goal game. | EDM 4, NSH 2

5:34: Short 5-on-3 chance for Nashville, with Derek Ryan heading to the box for holding.

5:55: Massive save by Ingram, stretching out the pad on the cross-ice feed from Nugent-Hopkins to Hyman on a shorthanded break.

7:34: Foegele goes hard through the crease, getting a piece of Ingram and taking a goaltender interference call.

15:01: THE SHORE RISES!!! Just 17 seconds after doubling their lead, Shore gets loose in between the hashmarks and wires one home through traffic. Tyson Barrie gets his 400th career point with the assist, and Warren Foegele gets on the scoresheet as well. | EDM 4, NSH 1

16:19: LEON LASER!!! The German is some kinda hot right now. After getting the feed from Captain Connor, Draisaitl walked into the slot and let fly a hard wrist shot that beat Ingram cleanly under the blocker. Four goals in two games now for the Deutschland Dangler, with McDavid keeping pace points-wise with his second helper of the game. EDM 3, NSH 1

20:00: Third period is underway! Shut ‘er down.

“Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask.”

Let’s take a cloooooser look at that Yamo finish. 🔍👀

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Two periods in the books! Oilers up a goal, leading 18-15 in the shot department with 20 minutes to play.

7:07: A couple of Grade-A looks for the Oilers there, but no PPG to show for it.

9:07: Colton Sissons gets in the way of McDavid in the neutral zone and gets called for interference. In a penalty-filled middle frame, Edmonton heads to their second man advantage after converting their first chance.

11:04: Big glove save from Ingram on a shorthanded 3-on-2 for the Oilers.

11:56: Shore marches off for tripping. Nashville back to the PP.

16:01: Darnell Nurse gets two for holding Tanner Jeannot in the left corner. First man advantage for Nashville.

18:33: YAMS BABY!!! it’s as easy as they come for the Oilers forward, who collects a loose puck off a deflection and fires it into the open cage for his second goal in as many games. Nugent-Hopkins taks on another apple, and Zach Hyman gets the primary helper. | EDM 2, NSH 1

20:00: Back underway for the second period!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: That’ll do it for the opening 20 minutes, where Draisaitl and Suchene score nine seconds apart to take us tied into the intermission.

– whistle sounds –

3:17: PUNISHING HIT! Zack Kassian lays waste to Nick Cousins in front of the penalty box. Keep your head on a swivel!

4:51: Draisaitl lowers the boom on Dane Fabbro in front of the benches. Tough Deutschland defences.

8:21: McDavid with a ridiculous turn to ignore Alexandre Carrier in the corner and pass off to Zach Hyman, who had his open look from the right of goal denied by Ingram.

13:09: Well that’s a quick response. Matt Duchene rips one top shelf just nine seconds later. | EDM 1, NSH 1

13:17: CHA-CHING! Cash another one for the top power play in the League.  Draisaitl opens the scoring with another one-timer from the right circle, putting it off the post and in past Ingram off the set up by McDavid and Nugent-Hopkins. Make that twelve helpers on the year for RNH. | EDM 1, NSH 0

13:58: The top unit nearly orchestrates another beauty, but Connor Ingram gets the pad out on Hyman after Draisaitl fed him cross-crease. It all started with a great puck retrival by Captain Connor McDavid.

15:15: Mikael Granlund takes down Leon Draisaitl 200 feet from his own net. Can’t do that, especially with this power play!

15:55: Offsides and icings galore so far here at Rogers Place.

18:09: Mikko with two tidy saves in the opening minutes. Eeli Tolvanen’s backhand off a pass in front from Matt Duchene behind the net was stopped nicely by the Finn.

20:00: LET’S GO! Can the Oilers make it three in a row against the Nashville Predators, who arrive on the second half of a back-to-back? Mind, though, because the Preds are winners of four in a row. Puck is dropped!
