SECOND PERIOD

0.0: The Oilers lead 4-2 through 40 minutes off goals from Ceci and Hyman in that second period. Leon Draisaitl left the Oilers bench during that middle frame and didn't return. We'll await any potential updates on the Germanb coming back out for the third.

2:59: Banked in by Lindholm. The centre floats a backhand into the crease from behidn the net that goes in off Stuart Skinner's twig.

4-2 Oilers.

6:49: HYMAN SHOOTS AND SCORES! Hyman gets his second of the game off a zone entry with a low shot that slides under the left pad of Silovs. Two goals in 45 seconds for Edmonton to take a three-goal lead.

4-1 Oilers.

7:34: CECI WITH A DRIVE ON THE DROP FROM RYAN! After Ceci nearly inadvertently kicked it into his own goal, Edmonton escapes the zone through Derek Ryan who drops it to the defenceman for a wired slap shot from the top of the zone that gets a piece of Ian Cole on its way into the back of the net.

3-1 Oilers.

16:34: Penalty to Stuart Skinner. He poked the puck outside the trapezoid, resulting in two minutes being served by Connor Brown.

19:07: Dakota Joshua on the rebound makes it 2-1 less than a minute into the second period. Ian Cole fired the original shot that bounced off the back boards and settled nicely for the winger to score from a tight angle to the right of Stuart Skinner's crease.

2-1 Oilers.

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Edmonton makes the most of its chances to take a 2-0 lead over the Canucks into the first intermission. Vancouver's pressure made for a few long shifts after the Oilers took the lead, but Stuart Skinner made five saves and the Oilers got go-ahead goals from Zach Hyman and Mattias Ekholm.

4:59: TURNOVER SEIZED ON BY THE SWEDE! First, it was the German Leon Draisaitl intercepting a wayward backward pass from Brock Boeser to the left of Vancouver's net before finding a loose Mattias Ekholm at the top of the right circle for a slap shot that beats Silovs through traffic to double Edmonton's lead.

2-0 Oilers.

12:47: An excellent pace to this all-Canadian playoff series so far as the Canucks follow up the OIlers' first goal with huge pressure and some very hard hits on Kulak and Hyman.

14:03: HUGE SKINNER STOP ON A BREAKAWAY FOR CONOR GARLAND KEEPS IT 1-0!

17:49: FIRST BLOOD IN THIS SERIES – EDMONTON! The Oilers had 29 seconds left on Vancouver's too-many-men penalty early in this game when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins threw one across the crease to Zach Hyman in the opposite circle, who one-times it past Arturs Silovs for his eighth goal of the postseason that's tied with Colorado's Valeri Nichushkin for the League lead. Edmonton improves to 10-for-21 with the power play in the 2024 Playoffs

1-0 Oilers.

19:20: Vancouver does what they shouldn't and that's give the Oilers an early power play. Two Canucks got crossed up on a line change and that's two minutes for Too Many Men.
