THIRD PERIOD

0.0: OILERS WIN!!! Multi-goal games from RNH, Draisaitl and Yamamoto help lead the Oilers to their second-consecutive victory to improve to 34-21-8. These two teams won’t wait long for a rematch that comes tomorrow night in Winnipeg at Canada Life Centre.

5:09: Dillon intentionally hops on the puck and takes a delay of game penalty.

7:05: Brendan Dillon comes through to collect a pass and score the Jets second goal in a near-minute span. Gotta bear down here. | EDM 6, WPG 3

8:11: Vinny Desharnais can’t clear it on the penalty kill and it leads to Mark Scheifele scoring from the right circle. | EDM 6, WPG 2

8:58: Tripping. Warren Foegele.

12:31: LEON WHAT WAS THAT?! A ridiculous angle and ridiculous gap were left for Draisaitl to score his second of the game over the left shoulder of Rittich, who couldn’t have hugged the post any closer. The German even put the post back in after it came off its moorings before the shot! | EDM 6, WPG 1

13:38: Skinner’s shutout bid is ended off the stick of a guy named Axel. | EDM 5, WPG 1

17:34: NO STOPPING NUGE!!! FOUR-POINT NIGHT!!! McDavid unselfishly feeds Nugent-Hopkins for a shot into the open net past the sliding Rittich. It’s his second of the game and 30th goal of the campaign — by far his career best with plenty of games to go to improve on that total! | EDM 5, WPG 0

18:43: Leon Draisaitl’s WHL teammate in Prince Albert, Josh Morrissey, takes two minutes for cross-checking Mattias Ekholm.

20:00: The third period is underway! David Rittich is in goal now for Winnipeg.

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: That’ll do it for 40 minutes! A pair of goals from Yamamoto and pair of points from RNH (1G, 1A) have us ahead 4-0 after two periods.

3:57: Nevermind. Bouchard for tripping. 4-on-4 hockey coming up.

4:39: Mark Scheifele bowls over Stuart Skinner in the Oilers crease for goaltender interference. Back to the PP!

10:02: OH-MAMOTO!!! TWO GOALS in 40 SECONDS!!! Kailer’s wide open coming into the zone to bury a loose puck! | EDM 4, WPG 0

10:42: TOTAL YAMAMOTO!!!! Forehand-to-backhand on the breakaway from Yams makes it a three-goal game and back-to-back goals for the Spokane, Wash. product! | EDM 3, WPG 0

14:06: Jets get their first man advantage with Evan Bouchard off for tripping.

18:16: NUUUUUUUUUGE!!! It may have started off a Jets giveaway, but the finish was all RNH. Winnipeg failed to clear the zone and sent it back to Nugent-Hopkins, who had it alone in between the hashmarks to beat Hellebuyck… you guessed it… low blocker. | EDM 2, WPG 0

20:00: Play resumes!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: The first period ends with the Oilers ahead 1-0 off Draisaitl’s PPG early in the game.

1:55: Dylan DeMelo takes down McDavid with a trip before the skate catches the Winnipeg defender in a scary play. Luckily, he’s up looking alright but heading to the dressing room. He had a penalty incoming, so the Oilers are going to the PP for the third time this opening frame.

5:01: Mark Scheifele with a great chance that he sails through the crease high instead of into the empty net. Close call for the Oilers.

14:09: The Oilers are heading back to the power play for FOUR MINUTES after the stick from Kevin Stenlund draws blood from Nugent-Hopkins.

17:54: DRAISAITL SCORES! ON THE POWER PLAY! It’s poked down low to the German by Nugent-Hopkins where he sneaks his shot under the arm of Connor Hellebuyck just past two minutes into this one. | EDM 1, WPG 0

18:41: McDavid tripped up early by Kyle Connor in the neutral zone. PP to the Oilers!

20:00: GAME ON!!!

20:00: Warm-ups are underway at Rogers Place.
