Draisaitl, Brown and Bouchard contribute goals and Calvin Pickard makes 24 saves for his 12th win this season. The Oilers enjoy a three-day break before hosting the Vegas Golden Knights to begin a busy end to their regular season.

42.8: NUGENT-HOPKINS SEALS IT! An empty-netter makes it three points tonight for No. 93 and the Oilers have a 4-2 lead.

FIRST PERIOD

15.5: DRAISAITL DRIVES HOME NO. 40! Hyman continues to battle with Markstrom as Nugent-Hopkins finds Draisaitl for a one-timer in the right circle that goes in off the netminder's chest protector to provide a goal at the end of a great opening period, giving the GErman his fifth career 40-goal campaign. 1-0 Oilers.

FIRST PERIOD

15.5: DRAISAITL DRIVES HOME NO. 40! Hyman continues to battle with Markstrom as Nugent-Hopkins finds Draisaitl for a one-timer in the right circle that goes in off the netminder's chest protector to provide a goal at the end of a great opening period, giving the GErman his fifth career 40-goal campaign. 1-0 Oilers.

1:05: Hyman gets heavily involved around the Flames crease and has a few run-ins with Jacob Markstrom. Corey Perry gets the puck down low and is tripped up to create an Oilers power play.

4:16: Sharangovich evens it up with an interference call on Connor Brown trying to buy his defenceman more time to make a play.

4:58: After Bouchard's one-timer nearly went in off Hyman at one end, the defenceman ended up taking a tripping penalty after the puck escaped the blueline and let to a good Calgary scoring chance. That's three power plays for the Flames already, but Edmonton's penalty kill has held strong.

7:41: The Flames go to their second power play off an interference call for Brett Kulak on Martin Pospisil.

8:21: Now it's Hyman breaking free, but he puts a backhand wide of the net!
