THIRD PERIOD

0.0: YES!!!! COMEBACK WIN IN THE BATTLE OF ALBERTA! McDavid posts a goal and assist and Skinner stops 40 of 42 shots for his second win! What a win!

1:04: Markstrom pulled. Gotta hold on!

7:36: HYMAN YES!!! THE GO-AHEAD GOAL!!! The winger is Johnny On The Spot to deflect home McDavid’s net-bound pass for his second of the game! Couldn’t come at a bigger time. | EDM 3, CGY 2

10:58: SNEAKY MCDAVID!!! It’s not one of his amazing runs, but it’s a smart one. A dump-in from Cody Ceci rings around the offensive zone to McDavid, who caught Markstrom napping with a quick shot that beat him at the near post. Tie game! | EDM 2, CGY 2

14:27: Markstrom makes an important pad save on Nugent-Hopkins from the right circle.

20:00: Teams are out for the third! Let’s win this!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: More scoring in that frame, but the Flames lead 2-1 after 40 minutes. Regroup and get back to it in the third!

2:47: A great steal from McDavid in the neutral zone on the backcheck leads to a partial 2-on-1, where the captain tosses it over to Ryan McLeod but Markstrom flashes the blocker.

3:54: Puck comes out front from Lucic right to Brett Ritchie, who buries it top shelf. | CGY 2, EDM 1

6:16: Nurse gets a little too ‘handsy’ and takes a holding the stick penalty.

8:31: Foegele’s effort trickles just wide! So close to a ‘Foe-goal’.

11:52: Mere seconds after the puck dropped, Nazem Kadri evens it up by hooking Yamamoto. A little 4-on-4 plays into our favour.

12:07: Nuge sends it right out of play for a Delay of Game. Calgary heads to their second PP.

14:58: INSTANT ANSWER!!! Draisaitl gets it right back for the Oilers by tapping Hyman’s pass five-hole on Markstrom. We’re all square again with a SHG for Calgary and a quick PP response for Edmonton.

**UPDATE** It appears Hyman’s pass went in directly off a Calgary Flames stick, so the goal goes down as Hyman’s fifth of the season unassisted! | EDM 1, CGY 1

15:31: Backlund gets open as the puck is chipped out and he scores short side on Skinner. | CGY 1, EDM 0

15:46: High-sticking for Coleman on Bouchard! He got the stick up along the boards. The Oilers will get their third PP after failing to score on the first two.

19:15: Leon Draisaitl and Kailer Yamamoto work a shorthanded 2-on-1 to no avail, with the German trying to go five-hole before Yams attempted to push it through.

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: That’ll do it for the first! Shots are 8-7 Edmonton after a well-paced 20 minutes at Scotiabank Saddledome.

32.2: Calgary’s going to get their first look on the powerplay with Derek Ryan heading off for holding.

1:12: ANOTHER BAR!!! This time it’s Zach Hyman ratting the iron!

1:52: The puck gets away from Evan Bouchard at the blueline and Stuart Skinner has to come up with a big breakaway save!

3:08: Mikael Backlund pushes Connor McDavid down from behind as he charged to the net. Another PP coming up for Edmonton!

7:01: Loooooooooch goes to the box for slashing the stick out of Tyson Barrie’s hands in the corner. First man advantage goes to Edmonton!

8:00: A great stick by Cody Ceci stops an open chance for Blake Coleman, who was ready in front to accept a pass. That’s good defending.

13:37: NUGE OFF THE CROSSBAR! What a shot, but the bar keeps it out.

15:49: A deflection in front by Dillon Dube nearly beats Skinner, but goes just wide.

20:00: THE BATTLE BEGINS!!!

Not a Drai eye in the house after this exchange!

20:00: Teams are out for warmups at Scotiabank Saddledome!

20:00: Tonight’s game will begin at 8:07pm MT on Sportsnet.
