THIRD PERIOD

0.0: TAMED THE WILD!!! A 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild breaks a seven-game losing streak to the State of Hockey side. Nuge gets a goal and two assists on the evening, while the Dynamic Duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each get a goal and assist. We’ll see you on Tuesday for the rematch back at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul!

8.2: NUGEEEE!!!! Empty-netter!!! | EDM 5, MIN 2

1:23: SKINNER! Holding down the fort with 43 saves tonight and with the Minnesota net currently empty.

5:17: Yamamoto has his legs taken out by Spruce Grove product Sam Steel going into the boards. Power play to the Oilers late in this one!

9:31: Brett Kulak heads to the box for the second time tonight.

16:17: DRAISAITL DELIVERS! A wide open cage beckons for the German, who put home a pass from Nugent-Hopkins after it originally vame off the stick of McDavid. | EDM 4, MIN 2

16:45: Hard work from Klim Kostin earns the Oilers a PP!

20:00: The third is ON! Big 20 minutes.

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: The Oilers lead by one through 40 minutes!

4.1: Late in the period, Draisaitl is charged with a pretty soft hooking penalty on Zuccarello, who looked to have hugged the stick of the German.

7:06: YAMA-REDIRECTION! Both Washington state boys are on the board, with Kailer Yamamoto deflecting Darnell Nurse’s point shot from the slot to restore Edmonton’s lead and notch his first of the campaign! | EDM 3, MIN 2

13:38: Mats Zuccarello snipes one right as Kulak got out of the box. | EDM 2, MIN 2

15:15: 22 seconds later, Mattias Janmark goes off for hooking to give the Wild an extended 5-on-3.

15:37: Brett Kulak gets the stick up on Kirill Kaprizov. Minnesota PP incoming.

20:00: The second period is on!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: AFTER 20 MINUTES: the Oilers lead by one!

5:31: A James Hamblin holding call sends Minnesota to the PP.

8:36: Giveaway by Darnell Nurse behind the Oilers goal goes right to Erikkson Ek, who has time and space in front to dangle Skinner and get the goal right back for Minnesota. | EDM 2, MIN 1

9:42: Puck hits the post and just sits there in the Oilers crease for what seemed like seconds before Stuart Skinner reacted and fell backwards on the puck.

***So this was reviewed after the TV timeout and given as a goal, but Head Coach Woodcroft challenged for goalie interference and it’s declared NO GOAL!***

11:01: WOW WHAT A GOAL! What an exceptional cross-ice pass from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who set up Connor McDavid in the right circle to extend his goalscoring streak to seven and point streak to eight games. He points to Nuge in appreciation after. Stellar. | EDM 2, MIN 0

11:53: Joel Eriksson Ek is called for hooking! Oilers to the PP!

12:17: Derek Ryan denied on the doorstep by Marc-Andre Fleury! Almost had a quick second!

17:15: DEREK RYAN GETS US GOING! Fourth of the season and second in as many games! Klim Kostin’s shot is blocked before Devin Shore put the rebound back into the mixer, where Ryan got two whacks at it and put it five-hole to open the scoring for Edmonton. | EDM 1, MIN 0
