THIRD PERIOD

0.0 OILERS WIN!!! Edmonton puts five goals up on the 6ix in a 5-2 victory over Toronto in Mattias Ekholm’s Oilers debut. McDavid notches his FIFTH straight multi-goal effort, with Ekholm picking up his first assist in Blue & Orange. That’s another terrific defensive effort against a top team in the NHL. Let’s keep it going Friday night against the Jets.

6:26: An even-up call sees Hyman go off for hooking Morgan Reilly.

7:49: Hyman is tripped by Nylander. Oilers head to the PP up three.

8:53: NUUUUUUUUGE!!! What a fight with Justin Holl in defence of Kailer Yamamoto, who took a high hit behind the Leafs net!

16:17: What?! Warren Foegele puts it in, but the referee blew his whistle after losing sight of the puck. Incredibly harsh on the Oilers and Foegele.

18:05: McDavid is tripped up by Sam Lafferty coming through the slot and that’s a penalty. Both additions from Chicago by the Leafs have been in the box/

18:52: Marner scores from the top of the circle on the man advantage. | EDM 5, TOR 2

20:00: The third period is underway! The Oilers have 1:30 on McDavid’s penalty left to kill.

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Cody Ceci caught a pice of the post right at the death of the second period, but what a frame it was. 5-1.

30.9: Bouchard has the puck in the back of the net, but in the lead-up to the goal, McDavid ran into the defender and is given two minutes for interference. No goal.

2:48: KLIM WON’T BE DENIED!!! With Desharnais and Tavares in a scrum at the other end, Ryan McLeod dangles the defence into submission and sends a pass across to Kostin who BURIES his 10th of the season! | EDM 5, TOR 1

4:14: Klim Kostin cuts hard inside and nearly puts it inside the back post before flying through the crease!

11:14: YAMO TIPS IT IN!!! The forward reaches out with his stick comign through the slot and it fortunately goes into the opposite corner of Samsonov’s net and pops out quickly, reaching Edmonton’s lead to three midway through the frame. | EDM 4, TOR 1

15:49: What vision from Ekholm! A full-ice slap pass to Drasiaitl off the boards from the Oilers zone is funnelled through to Hyman, but Samsonov makes a good pad stop.

18:37: Nurse with a great look off the rush with Draisaitl but the shot’s high into the shoulder pads of Samsonov.

20:00: The second period is UNDERWAY!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Definitely one of the best periods we’ve seen from the Oilers this year. We lead 3-1 after 20 minutes.

1:55: HYMAN!!! AGAINST HIS FORMER TEAM!!! The Toronto native follows McDavid’s lead and scores against his hometown with a second-chance wrister from the slot for his 70th point of the year. Congratulations to Mattias Ekholm, who picks up his first Oilers point on the play along with McDavid getting his third point with the assist. | EDM 3, TOR 1

6:03: MCDAVID FIVE-HOLE AGAIN FOR NUMBER 52!!! The captain’s scored twice in each of last five games to become the 3rd player since 1920’s (and 1st since Alexander Mogilny) with a 5-game multi-goal streak. Simply sensational. | EDM 2, TOR 1

7:45: The play looked to be offside, but it’s put home by David Kampf and Woodcroft isn’t going to challenge. Tie game. | EDM 1, TOR 1

10:30: A monstrous save on Devin Shore by Samsonov in front keeps it a one-goal game.

13:00: Terrific kill for the Oilers, with Mattias Ekholm getting his first look shorthanded for Edmonton!

15:00: After scoring the opening goal, McDavid heads off for holding the stick.

16:11: CONNOR MCDAVID!!! HAUNTING HIS HOMETOWN!!! Leon Draisaitl takes a shot from the bottom of the right circle off the pass from McDavid, then Connor goes toward the Toronto net and picks up the rebound and puts it past Ilya Samsonov. | EDM 1, TOR 0

16:39: Welcome to the Maple Leafs, Jake McCabe. Here’s an interference penalty and an Oilers PP.

20:00: GAME ON!!!
