OVERTIME

3:40: IN OOOOOOOVERTIME!!! DARNELL NURSE DELIVERS EDMONTON THEIR NINTH STRAIGHT WIN! Hyman's power move in extra time leads to a loose puck in front of Detroit's net that's poked to the defenceman, who buries the game-winner top shelf past the stickless Alex Lyon. The netminder made 44 saves in a losing effort, but the Blue & Orange pull out the 3-2 victory to match their franchise-record nine-game win streak heading into Saturday's matchup at Bell Centre against the Montreal Canadiens.

5:00: The overtime period has begun!

THIRD PERIOD

9.8: Wow. The Oilers have it in the back of the net through Evander Kane, but it's deemed that Derek Ryan played it with a hand pass on the previous sequence. Another break for Detroit.

We are going to overtime despite a 46-19 shot discrepancy in Edmonton's favour, including a 19-8 advantage in the third period.

3:57: Massive break for Detroit. A deflection puts the puck on net to force Pickard into making a quick reactionary stop, but the puck is put away by Olli Maatta after it sat loose in the crease. Tie game once again at 2-2 with under four to play.

6:00: HYMAN MAKES IT 2-1! The puck pops out to Zach Hyman in the slot from out of the confusion in front of Detroit's net for the winger to fire home his 26th goal and the one-goal Edmonton lead with six minutes left in regulation.

10:48: THE OILERS FINALLY FIND ONE! McDavid capitalizes on a loose puck at the blueline before dangling his way in and wrapping the 1-1 goal around a heroic Alex Lyon, who's finally beaten on his 37th shot against. The captain now has a point streak of nine games, with 15 points, and moved into a tie for fourth all-time in Oilers points alongside Glenn Anderson with 906 points.

14:44: Robby Fabbri goes CROSSBAR-TO-POST on a 2-on-1 with Patrick Kane after Calvin Pickard got a piece of it with his blocker! Everybody in Little Caesars Arena thought it was in, but we play on with the Wings holding a slender lead.

16:26: Detroist scores. Andrew Copp buries a wrist shot for the opening goal after Christian Fischer delivered the fly-by screen. Head Coach Kris Knoblauch challenged the play, but it was upheld by the officials to give the Red Wings a power play up 1-0.

20:00: The third period is underway! Still searching for that all-important first goal.

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: For the first time this season, the Oilers are involved in a scoreless hockey game through 40 minutes despite owning a 28-11 shot advantage.

2:15: The Oilers head to the power play late in the period for a Too Many Men call on the Detroit bench.

4:16: Nugent-Hopkins' point-blank slap out of mid-air is handled somehow by Lyon after Hyman had just missed a back-door tap in. Evander Kane is taking the next faceoff with Leon Draisaitl and Warren Foegele on the second line.

4:51: Alex Lyon is making it look easy by making a couple of good saves on McDavid to keep this scoreless. He's stood up Edmonton's offensive weapons a few times tonight with 24 total stops so far.

7:27: Brett Kulak causes a turnover in Edmonton's end and is forced into slowing Christian Fischer down with a hook. Detroit goes back to the power play.

10:15: Detroit will get their first power play with a holding penalty to Evan Bouchard after Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl nearly broke the deadlock seconds earlier at the other end.

13:48: Alex Lyon poke-checks Zach Hyman on a clear-cut breakaway! The winger was going to roof a backhand, but the Detroit netminder puts an end to it with a good stick.

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Period over. Edmonton registers 16 shots to Detroit's five in the first period, holding the hosts to a single shot in the last 10 minutes in the dying moments of the frame, but we're scoreless after 20 minutes.

4:35: Mattias Janmark has been buzzing and draws the Oilers their first power play. Both of these teams are going toe-to-toe right now, but Edmonton gets the first look with the man advantage.

12:10: Zach Hyman rattles the crossbar with a high-rising wrist shot! With 25 goals, he's taken plenty of more opportunities like that this season with a focus on shooting to score.

18:37: Jake Walman makes two blocks on hard wrist shots from Connor McDavid to prevent the Oilers captain from getting two good looks early. Necessary defending when facing that line.

20:00: GAME ON!!! Pickard gets the call in between the pipes for the Oilers against the team he was a part of for three seasons. He'll face Alex Lyon in Detroit's crease.

20:00: The first period of tonight's game at Little Caesars Arena will begin at 5:07 p.m. MT.
