THIRD PERIOD
0.0: This one’s in the books. Oilers win!
6:11: After the penalty, Draisaitl and McDavid skated in on a two-on-one. Draisaitl fed McDavid, whose shot missed the mark but it took a very weird bounce and somehow made its way into the net. | EDM 6, TB 2
8:53: Jujhar Khaira received two minutes for holding.
13:05: McDavid skated in on a breakaway and made no mistake, wristing it past Domingue for the hat trick and his fourth point of the night. | EDM 5, TB 2
18:06: Talbot stretched out his left pad and made a brilliant save on Gourde in front but the Bolts rookie lifted the rebound over the pad of Talbot to give Tampa Bay the power play goal. | EDM 4, TB 2
19:12: Strome got sent to the box to give Tampa Bay its second power play of the game.
20:00: Period three is now underway. Louis Domingue is now in goal for the Lightning.
SECOND PERIOD
0.0: Shots in the second period were 13-4 for the Oilers; 26-15 in the game overall.

9:53: McDavid gets tripped up by Jake Dotchin barrelling down the wing, setting up another Edmonton man advantage.
14:02: Vasilevskiy makes two stops: one on McDavid and another on Draisaitl off the rush as Oilers continue to pressure. Shots on goal now 22-12 for Edmonton.
14:36: Strome makes a great play to muscle Matthew Peca off the puck and then feeds Caggiula in front but Vasilevskiy makes an outstanding save.
17:27: McDavid scored an impossible goal, lifting it over Vasilevskiy from a wide angle at close range under the crossbar to make it a two-goal game. | EDM 3, TB 1

20:00: Period two has started. Oilers still have 1:48 remaining to kill on the Draisaitl penalty.
McDavid rectifies the fact he hadn’t yet recorded a point vs TB (in only two games coming in). The last NHL team against whom he’d had a bagel sees 97 get a goal and an assist in that first period—2-1 EDM.

0.0: Shots after one period were 13-11 for the Oilers.
19:48: Draisaitl takes an interference penalty late in the period.

3:38: Steven Stamkos gets called for tripping and the Oilers power play gets back on the attack.
10:18: Yanni Gourde’s centring pass went off Darnell Nurse in front and out to Alex Killorn who blasted it in from the slot to put the Lightning on the board at 1-1. | EDM 1, TB 1
11:00: Almost midway through the opening period, shots on goal were 6-5 for Edmonton.
18:12: From the front of the net, Connor McDavid redirected a Ryan Strome one-timer past Lightning starting goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to get Edmonton on the board less than two minutes into the game and 27 seconds into the man advantage. | EDM 1, TB 0
