THIRD PERIOD

0.0: WHAT A WIN! Leon hits 50 goals & 100 points, while McDavid notches his 40th in a 6-1 drubbing of the Ducks on Sunday. Brett Kulak gets his first as an Oiler to go with two assists as part of a three-point night that carries the same statline as Tyson Barrie. The Oilers head to San Jose to take on the Sharks on Tuesday night.

4:30: KING LEON!! KING LEON!! KING LEON!! Hail to the king, who one-times home his FIFTIETH goal of the season as he drops to his knees, rips it past Gibson, and throws his arms to the sky along with the Oilers bench! | EDM 6, ANA 1

7:47: KEEPIN’ IT KULAK!!! The defender sneaks one juuuuust over the line for his first goal as an Oiler after releasing a wrist shot from the point that Gibson couldn’t pull away before it crossed the line. An assist for Draisaitl is his 100th point of the season! | EDM 5, ANA 1

10:24: Smitty left swimming in his crease after a Ducks wraparound before making the catch on his side on the ensuing Ducks point shot.

13:41: HUGE Smitty double save denying Adam Henrique twice in front!

16:44: Aston-Reese collects his own rebound and puts the Ducks first goal of the night in along the ice under the pad of Smith. Unassisted. | EDM 4, ANA 1

20:00: The final frame has begun!

SECOND PERIOD

o.o: Edmonton tacks on another in the second period through Puljujarvi to lead 4-0 through 40 minutes.

5:34: Barrie is tripped while turning in the Oilers corner by Zach Aston-Reese. The Oilers get their second powerplay of the evening!

7:10: Oilers outshooting the Ducks 23:14 as we’re now past the midway mark of this middle frame.

15:45: JESS-AY!!! Kane’s centering pass stops dead in front, and Puljujarvi is there to pick it up and outwait the outstretched Gibson before putting it up top. Two points for Kaner so far tonight. | EDM 4, ANA 0

20:00: The second period is ON!!!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: The first period concludes and it was a good one. Goals from Barrie, McDavid and Nuge have us ahead by three.

2:40: Nurse heads off for roughing. Anaheim gets their first man advantage.

4:02: NUUUUUUUUUGE!!! Coming off the bench with the Ducks hemmed in their own zone, Nugent-Hopkins gets the pass from Tyson Barrie and has all the time to wrist his 19th of the season far side. Barrie picks up his third point of the night, and the Oilers are owning this first period. | EDM 3, ANA 0

5:04: Smith makes another stop on Max Comtois and has looked sharp in this one. He’s got eight saves.

11:02: McDAVID HITS 40!!! Just five seconds after the faceoff, the captain rips a wrister from the right circle to the far corner to make it 40 goals on the season. It’s already his second point of the night, along with Tyson Barrie, who gets the primary helper after Ryan Nugent-Hopkins won the draw. | EDM 2, ANA 0

11:07: Evander Kane and Josh Mahura chop it up in front of the Anaheim goal after a whistle, with Gibson taking the extra two minutes to send the Oilers to the powerplay.

Connor McDavid extends his point streak to 13 games with an assist. Has 10 goals, 14 assists — 24 points during that span (including tonight). #Oilers

15:16: BARRIE BINGO!!! The Oilers blueliner’s wrist shot deflects off the shin of Cam Fowler and past Gibson to open the scoring just before the five-minute mark. McDavid made the original pass and stretches his point streak to 10 goals and 14 assists in 13 games. Sublime from the captain. | EDM 1, ANA 0

15:37: Zach Hyman muscles his way around a defender and in front to force John Gibson into the save.

17:56: Mike Smith with TWO big back-to-back stops early. He gets to go tonight in the Oilers crease with Mikko Koskinen out with illness.

20:00: GAME ON!!!

Mike Smith leads the Oilers onto the ice here in Anaheim. Gets the nod with Skinner to back up. #Oilers
