THIRD PERIOD
0.0: OILERS WIN!!! They had to fight for it, but the two points breaks a four-game losing skid for Edmonton (0-3-1). A two-game road trip begins Thursday night in Pittsburgh!
2:25: McDAVID EMPTY-NETTER!!!!
2:48: Evan Bouchard puts the puck over the glass for a Delay of Game penalty. The Flyers will look to pull their goalie for the 6-on-4 chance.
7:21: CONNOR GETS LUCKY!!! His centring pass to Hyman in front goes off a Philly defender’s leg and through the five-hole of Hart! The Oilers lead! | EDM 3, PHI 2
8:29: STUUUUUUUUU! A remarkable pad save on Owen Tippett keeps it level!
Everyone say it with me

13:11: THERE’S ONE!!! Leon Draisaitl from his regular spot lifts it over the flailing Carter Hart! Tie game! It’s point number 700 for Draisaitl, and with an assist, Connor hits 800 points! | EDM 2, PHI 2
Of course Leon’s 700th & Connor’s 800th point would happen on the same goal 🥲 pic.twitter.com/3JqA7FifOR

0.0: A not-so-inspiring second period sees the Oilers head into the second intermission down 2-1 and with only 10 shots.

3:02: Can’t put it away! McDavid can’t handle Nugent-Hopkins’ quick feed in front before his attempt is eaten up by Hart.

FIRST PERIOD
0.0: The Oilers get one back on their fifth shot of the period and first shot in almost 15 minutes right before the intermission.
