THIRD PERIOD

0.0: Credit to the Devils, who score twice in seven seconds to steal the two points late and end Edmonton’s win streak at five with a 4-3 victory.

3:08: Caught sleeping off the draw. Jesper Bratt gets through and scores seven seconds after the Devils tied it. | NJD 4, EDM 3

3:15: The equalizer sneaks through Skinner, who tried to close the five-hole on Ryan Graves. Tie game. | EDM 3, NJD 3

9:23: Vanecek comes up with the beg denial on Bouchard, who was in on a 2-on-1 with Draisaitl.

15:34: Tyson Barrie takes two minutes for tripping. Devils starting to push back in this frame.

20:00: The final frame has BEGUN!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Well that was more like it. The Oilers score twice, once through Ryan and once on the PP through Draisaitl, to take a 3-1 lead into the second intermission.

10:34: LEON SHOOTS LOW!!! Poor Vanecek, who immediately came into this game having to prevent the Oilers power play from scoring. Draisaitl got the puck in his usual spot at the circle and found a window to put it along the ice and under the pad of the Devils goaltender to make it a two-goal game. | EDM 3, NJD 1

11:19: Concern for Blackwood here as he looked to have tweaked something lower body after sliding across to make a save. He’s been lifted from the game, being replaced by Vitek Vanecek.

11:40: Evander Kane with the magnificent read to pick the puck up off a bounce off the boards to go in on a breakaway, but gets hooked as Blackwood made the save. Another Oilers PP coming up with the chance to stretch this lead.

12:00: DEREK RYAN!!! He’s got goals in back-to-back games after he put the tip on Tyson Barrie’s wrist shot! | EDM 2, NJD 1

17:01: Sharangovich puts a hook on Holloway at the blueline, sending the Oilers to their first PP!

20:00: The second period has begun!

20:00: The second period is coming up!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Draisaitl with a chance at the end of the period but it ends with the score square. The Devils outshoot the Oilers 16-9 in the opening 20 minutes with a 2-0 power-play advantage.

4:35: The Oilers will be shorthanded for a second time with Derek Ryan heading off for tripping.

7:38: Miles Wood equalizes from the slot off the feed from Nathan Bastian after the Devils took away the puck from Holloway in the neutral zone. | EDM 1, NJD 1

10:40: BREAKTHROUGH FROM CONNOR!!! The captain picks up his 12th of the season on a 2-on-1 with Hyman, who floated a pass across to McDavid to put past Blackwood. The play started after a 2-on-1 for the Devils themselves, who couldn’t complete the passing play as Darnell Nurse broke up the play. Nurse picks up a helper for his efforts on the break up. | EDM 1, NJD 0

14:59: Connor McDavid galavants all the way up the ice and has his leg pushed out by the stick of a Devils defender, but no call. The captain complains to the referee and he’s got a case.

19:24: Early penalty to the Oilers. Brett Kulak crosschecks Nico Hischier between the hashmarks.

20:00: GAME ON!!! Oilers vs. Devils, Skinner vs. Blackwood! Both teams are riding win streaks — something’s gotta give!
