THIRD PERIOD
0.0: PLAY LA BAMBA!!! Make that FOUR wins in a row!!! The Oilers fall behind 2-0, but storm back to win tonight’s game decisively over the Ducks by a score of 7-4.

McLeod picks up his second assist of the game, while Kane has a helper to go along with his first-period goal. | EDM 4, ANA 2

15:48: DEREK DEFLECTION TIES IT!!! It’s a tango of tip-ins here at Rogers Place, as Derek Ryan deflects home his fourth of the season from the slot and third top-in of the game after the shot was put on net from the point by Cody Ceci. Warren Foegele picks up the secondary helper. | EDM 2, ANA 2
