THIRD PERIOD
0.0: GAME OVER!!! From start to finish, the Oilers dominated. Edmonton scores six and records 53 shots in a 6-2 rout of the Ducks. McDavid, Kostin (2) and Nugent-Hopkins score as the Oilers get back to winning ways on this four-game road trip. See you Friday in San Jose.
2:06: A late unsportsmanlike penalty to Puljujarvi. Won’t matter now, though.
4:26: Now Nugent-Hopkins is denied in alone on the backhand! Stolarz saw the scouting report.
8:00: Stolarz, the former Oilers, gets piece of McDavid’s backhand on a breakaway!
9:45: Shattenkirk gets a breakaway out of the penalty box but he puts it wide over the net.
11:53: Janmark is cross-checked down by Shattenkirk then a scrum ensues. Kostin has a man on the ground after everything settles. Janmark didn’t like how Shattenkirk sent the puck back to him when he was on the ground after the infraction.
19:12: Simon Benoit tees one up from the blue line to make it 6-2.
20:00: The third period is underway!

1:16: THROUGH THE LEGS LEON?!? He has that in his arsenal, too? A sublime slap pass from Evan Bouchard to the back post lands on the paddle of Draisaitl, who put it through the legs in a sick little show of skill from the German. | EDM 6, ANA 1
