OVERTIME

2:25: HE'S IN ALL MALONE... SCORES!!! WHAT A COMEBACK!!! Anything can happen in the Battle of Alberta, as Brad Malone slides the game-winner under Vladar to win it for the Oilers! | EDM 2, CGY 1

THIRD PERIOD

0.0: Sharangovich seemed to have ended the game in the final moments, but a review shows that it crossed the line after the buzzer! Wow, what a finish. We go to overtime.

1:40: HOLLYWOOD HEROICS!!! The Oilers tie the game on the power play off Holloway's one-timer from between the circles! There's those late-game heroics! | EDM 1, CGY 1

2:38: Mikael Backlund, the newly-minted Flames captain, looked to have made it a two-goal game before the refs waved it off, but a failed challenge by Calgary sends the Oilers back to the power play in need of late-game heroics.

20:00: The third period is underway!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: AFTER 2 | Flames pull ahead 1-0 on the goal from Poirier, and lead in shots 23-12.

7:05: Jeremie Poirier is the first to beat a solid Jack Campbell in this one. The Flames defender's point shot finds the back of the net at the right post with plenty of traffic blocking the netminder's view. Ilya Solovyev and Nazem Kadri get the assists. | CGY 1, EDM 0

UPDATE The goal has been given to Elias Lindholm, who got a piece of the shot on its way through with a deflection. Assists now go to Poirier and Solovyev.**

20:00: Play resumes from the 'Dome!

FIRST PERIOD

20:00: END OF 1 | It's a scoreless pre-season Battle of Alberta through 20 minutes, with the Flames heavily outshooting the Oilers 12-4 in the first period.

Jack Campbell has been busy in the Oilers crease, with seven of his shots coming in the opening seven minutes. The netminder denied Nazem Kadri twice on a 2-on-1 with Phil Kemp in front of him in what was his biggest contribution from between the pipes in the frame.

The Majority of Edmonton's offence flowed through Dylan Holloway and the young forward's strong skating. Holloway won a foot race against Noah Hanifin near the midway mark of the period for a partial breakaway, but he couldn't get a hold of his backhand.

Later on a partial 2-on-1 with Raphael Lavoie, he leaned into the Flames defender and cut to the net before taking a shot that was stopped by Flames netminder Dan Vladar up high.

20:00: GAME ON!!!

20:00: Puck drop for tonight's game is slated for 7:00 pm MT. Head over to Oilers Plus to catch tonight's action, and tune in 30 minutes early to catch the Live Pre-Game Show from Scotiabank Saddledome.
