THIRD PERIOD

0.0: GAME OVER!!! PLAY LA BAMBA!!! The Oilers snap a five-game winless skid at Rogers Place with a terrific 4-2 victory over the Islanders. One more at home against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday wraps up this four-game homestand!

48.6: Pulock hacks down Draisaitl, who would’ve had a route to an empty net. That should do it as the Oilers head to the PP late up two goals.

2:24: Islanders pull Sorokin for the extra attacker!

7:21: The second PP unit for Edmonton comes close to clicking on a great goal. McLeod’s shot from the slot is stopped by Sorokin, who might not have seen the shot but made the save nonetheless.

9:23: The Isles will be shorthanded after Aatu Raty used his hand in the faceoff. Can’t do that!

18:23: Nugent-Hopkins the repeat offender is off for slashing — his second stick infraction of the evening to go with an assist.

20:00: The final frame is UNDERWAY!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Two goals to their one in the second period is good. We’re up a pair after 40 minutes!

52.9: Fantastic deflection by Cal Clutterbuck makes it 4-2. Credit where credit is due. | EDM 4, NYI 2

4:43: ZACHARY MARTIN HYMAN!!! He gets loose on a breakaway and goes backhand over Sorokin’s right pad for the three-goal lead and his 18th of the campaign! | EDM 4, NYI 1

11:26: HOLLOWAY HAMMERS IT HOME!!! From the top of the circles, the young forward steps into one off the feed from Ryan McLeod that left Sorokin with no chance of stopping it. Philip Broberg also gets in on the scoring with the secondary helper! | EDM 3, NYI 1

15:18: Barzal goes bar down to make it a one-goal game. | EDM 2, NYI 1

20:00: GAME ON!

Way to go, boys!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Great opening frame! The Oilers are up 17-4 in shots and 2-0 on the scoreboard thanks to Draisaitl and Yamamoto.

1:22: YAMO SHORTHANDED!!! WHAT A DANGLE!!! He dragged it around an Islanders defender and beat Sorokin under the arm! Connor McDavid picked up his 500th NHL assist on the play. | EDM 2, NYI 0

2:41: Islanders turn with the power play as Nugent-Hopkins is called for hooking.

10:32: THERE IT IS!!! You know you can’t keep this power play quiet for long. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid connect to set up Leon Draisaitl from his usual spot in the right circle. It’s been all Oilers here with a 14-2 shot lead and a deserved go-ahead goal. | EDM 1, NYI 0

12:03: Another man advantage coming up for the Blue, White & Orange. Not to be confused with the White, Blue & Orange of the Islanders.

16:47: A good Oilers start to this game leads to an early power play!

20:00: GAME ON!

20:00: Warmups are underway at Rogers Place.
