THIRD PERIOD
0.0: That’s game. Edmonton didn’t have it, but Sorokin did, who made 49 saves in the shutout win. Oilers are back in action Saturday afternoon against the Rangers.
3:22: Another big pad stop by Sorokin on Draisaitl. Been the story of the game for the Oilers, who’ve put 46 shots on net.
6:06: Holloway has his helmet pop off after a hard check from Mathew barzal. Another PP coming, this time interference.
7:49: CROSSBAR!!! Puck pops out to Nuge, who strikes the iron and sends it out of play.
9:02: With time becoming a factor for the Oilers, they’ll get another chance with the man advantage as Casey Cizikas heads off for holding the stick of Nugent-Hopkins.
15:01: Edmonton will get a chance on the PP with Alexander Romanov off for tripping.
15:14: The Oilers are pressing hard to begin the period but are getting stopped at every turn by Sorokin, who has 30 saves.
20:00: This third has begun!
SECOND PERIOD
0.0: Tough period. Work to do in the third.
3:04: Sebastian Aho (the other one) beats Campbell glove side after it came out to him at the circle. | NYI 3, EDM 0
5:11: Brad Malone gets a good look at Sorokin after Ryan unlocked the centre with a good break-out pass.
12:11: Foegele with some dogged work to draw a hooking penalty before Hyman gets two whacks at a loose puck in front. The Oilers head to their second PP.
13:21: Pageau’s pass across the crease goes in off Bouchard. Two in two minutes for the hosts. | NYI 2, EDM 0
14:39: Tyson Barrie is forced into taking a professional penalty after the puck was turned over and the Islanders would’ve had a sure-fire breakaway.
15:27: Isles break out shorthanded and Parise finds Pageau with the pass that they bury. | NYI 1, EDM 0
15:49: A couple of turnovers by Edmonton and a strong Islanders shift ends the wrong way for the home side, with Anthony Beauvillier taking a slashing call. Oilers go to the PP for the first time tonight!
20:00: The second has begun!

3:03: Sorokin has to come up with a big stretch to deny a Zach Hyman half-breakaway!
6:22: CLOSE!!! A Scott Mayfield giveaway leads to a quick shot by Nugent-Hopkins that trickles through the Islanders netminder Ilya Sorokin before it’s pushed under him by a defender. Edmonton’s first shot was a dangerous one.
8:11: Campbell makes the first save on Zach Parise and is sharp to collect the second chance that popped into his crease. He’s looked sharp so far, making six saves.
16:33: Leon Draisaitl throws a check on Anders Lee and it’s deemed to be boarding by the officials. We’ll be short two minutes.
16:47: Jack Campbell makes a routine glove stop for his first save in 13 days. He’s back in tonight as the Oilers starter after giving way to Stuart Skinner for the last four games.
20:00: GAME ON AT UBS ARENA!
