08:46: Somehow the puck doesn’t cross the line behind Brossoit, then McDavid gets a shorthanded breakaway the other way but he’s denied by McElhinney.
09:49: Another Oilers penalty. 5-on-3 for the Leafs for 18 seconds.
11:31: Now the Oilers take a penalty and the Leafs are going on the man advantage. Nugent-Hopkins sits for a slash.
12:27: McDavid with a few looks at it on the PP but no goal so far.
13:53: Oilers headed to the power play, looking for the equalizer.
17:12: Kassian denied from the slot on a huge scoring chance.

FIRST PERIOD
00:00: That’s it for the first period of play. Shots are 11-6 for the Leafs. | TOR 1, EDM 0
01:00: A nice pass from Cammalleri to Maroon as he crosses the blueline, then a centring pass to Nugent-Hopkins in the slot but he can’t complete the nice play. Oilers have settled down quite a bit from the opening few minutes.
02:52: Another save for Brossoit as he tracks the puck through a few bodies in front.
05:12: McDavid drives to the net, shedding his would-be defenders, but McElhinney gets his stick on the puck to make a great save.
What a move by McDavid to dance around Hainsey but McElhinney poke-checks him before he can tie it up. #LetsGoOilers
