THIRD PERIOD

0.0: BROAD STREET BLANKED!!! Mikko Koskinen earns his first shutout in 85 games dating back to November of 2019, making all 39 saves in a 3-0 shutout of the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. Two-straight solid appearances for the Finn after Sunday’s 44-save performance vs. Florida. Leon Draisaitl & Connor McDavid both with a goal and assist. We’ll end off this five-game roadie in Chicago on Thursday night.

1:40: Tic-Tac-Toe into the empty net! Hyman to Draisaitl to McDavid to bury it into the open cage and end this game! | EDM 3, PHI 0

2:19: Flyers pull their goalie with just over two minutes left.

4:37: Oilers holding it down with four-and-a-half on the clock to go.

8:07: Koskinen makes a big pad save on Joel Farabee then gets taken out by Claude Giroux outside the crease. The Finn’s stopped all 30 Philly shots.

12:15: Hart makes back-to-back saves on McDavid, who was in stride and let it go through a defender before getting a second whack on the backhand.

19:27: It needs to be acknowledged that Darnell Nurse is playing great defensively tonight. He made an excellent recovery to stop the Flyer coming out of the box from getting an open look on Koskinen.

20:00: The third period has started here at Wells Fargo Center!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: The Oilers settle for a two-goal lead after 40 minutes on goals from Draisaitl and Yamamoto.

1:40: Another Flyers high stick, another penalty. Edmonton heads to their fifth PP on Philly’s fifth stick infraction.

4:50: YAMAMOTO COMING THROUGH!!! With a full-fledged scramble engaged in the Flyers crease, Kailer Yamamoto drops down from between the hash marks and jams it through Hart to get the puck over the line. That’s his 11th of the season and a big goal for Edmonton to give the club a two-goal lead. The assists go to Draisaitl and Kane. | EDM 2, PHI 0

11:56: The Flyers are having some issues controlling their sticks as Konecny takes Philadelphia’s third tripping penalty of the game. The Oilers are 1-for-3 on the PP.

13:12: Brad “Bugsy” Malone with the big hit in the Oilers zone. He’s fired up to be back in the NHL for the first time since April of 2019.

17:18: Lindblom is the two-time offender this game as he heads off for tripping.

18:20: Malone crashes the net but can’t bang it past Hart! The Philly netminder had to scramble to make the stop in close.

20:00: The second period has begun!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Travis Sandheim with two good looks before the buzzer but he can’t bury the tying goal before the intermission. Oilers lead by a goal after 20 minutes.

2:19: SEEING EYE DRAI!!! The German unleashes a deadly wrister from up top on the powerplay and picks the far corner on Carter Hart. Whatta snipe to open the scoring and score your 37th of the campaign. | EDM 1, PHI 0

11:47: Koskinen with a quick kick save on Derick Brassard. The Finn is 11-2-2 on the road this season.

14:39: Oilers operating with a workman attitude to begin this one with plenty of battles won in the o-zone and lots of possession.

19:29: Michael Laughton is in the box early for the Flyers. Tripping is the call.
