THIRD PERIOD

0.0: The Oilers see their three-game win streak end with a 5-2 loss to the Wild. The juice seemed to run out midway through the game with the Oilers playing the second of a back-to-back. We’re back home on Saturday to open a four-game road trip against Montreal.

8:12: It sneaks through Campbell from the point via Dumba.| MIN 5, EDM 2

12:09: Two very important saves from Marc-Andre Fleury on that PP keep it a two-goal game.

13:06: Back to the PP! Janmark is hooked in the Wild zone. A way back in.

16:47: Sam Steel gets a 1-on-1 with Campbell in the offensive zone and he goes around the netminder to make it a two-goal game. | MIN 4, EDM 2

20:00: COME ON! We’re off in the third period down a goal.

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: The Wild take the lead through 40 minutes with goals from Gaudreau and Kaprizov.

6:07: Frederick Gaudreau roofs a backhander short side on Campbell. | MIN 3, EDM 2

9:07: Nice little dangle from Kaprizov in front ties the game. Two PPGs for the Wild have levelled things on two occasions now. EDM 2, MIN 2

9:14: A great shift from the Janmark, RNH, Puljujarvi line ends with the Wild heading to the PP. Really unfortunate.

14:52: Janmark goes off for interference at the blueline on an Oilers rush.

15:38: AUTO-MATIC. You just can’t let the Dynamic Duo get a 2-on-1. After doing it last night, the two combine again to put Edmonton back ahead with McDavid finishing off Draisaitl’s saucer pass over the stick of a Minnesota defender. | EDM 2, MIN 1

18:09: Jack Campbell looked to have got it, but a rebound from Joel Eriksson Ek to the netminder’s right rolls in to tie it up. | EDM 1, MIN 1

18:45: Cody Ceci is gonna head off for tripping Kirill Kaprizov. Big early kill coming up here in the second period.

20:00: The second period has begun!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: 20 minutes in the books and we’re ahead!

8:43: LEEEEEOOOOOO!!! From the spot we all know and love. An absolute rip job from the German on the powerplay inside the left circle puts us ahead, with the assists going to Bouchard and McDavid. | EDM 1, MIN 0

9:37: Jon Merrill stops a breakaway for Devin Shore by taking a professional interference penalty.

18:01: Jordan Greenway hits the post for Minnesota from the right circle.

19:43: Early PP to the Oilers with Marcus Foligno in the box for high-sticking.

20:00: GAME ON!!!

20:00: Puck drop tonight at Xcel Energy Center will be at 6:00pm MT on Sportsnet One.
