SECOND PERIOD

8:52: CANUCKS GOAL | Pettersson fires one through traffic on the power play. | VAN 5, EDM 1

11:40: OILERS POWER-PLAY GOAL! Don't count us out yet. Leon Draisaitl gets one back for the Oilers with their first goal of the season from a very tight angle off the pass from McDavid. Evan Bouchard gets the second helper. | VAN 4, EDM 1

12:30: CANUCKS GOAL | Boeser getting all the bounces. Pettersson's pass redirects off his skate and under Campbell on the power play for his hat trick. That'll spell the end of his night, as Skinner comes off the bench in relief. | VAN 4, EDM 0

11:54: CANUCKS GOAL | Garland goes to the back door and finishes the long saucer pass from Elias Pettersson. | VAN 1, EDM 0

15:17: Great action to open this one up. Connor McDavid's already thrown a huge hit, Brett Kulak jumped into a rush for a great chance, and the top line of Kane, McDavid and Brown was buzzing with a couple good looks. Oh, and Vincent Desharnais dropped the gloves with Dakota Joshua at centre ice. We are so back.
