OVERTIME

4:05: WHO ELSE?! CONNOR McDAVID. A sweet pass by Evan Bouchard as McDavid came on the ice from a change leads to a break-away chance for the captian, who slides a backhander past DeSmith to win it for the Oilers. OILERS WIN 2-1!!!

THIRD PERIOD

0.0: Ben Gleason had a great chance in the final minute to win it for Edmonton, but his wrist shot from the left circle was stood up by the glove of Casey DeSmith, who made the stop without dropping to the butterfly. We'll head to overtime to settle this one.

20:00: The final frame is underway!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: END OF 2 | EDM 1, VAN 1

6:06: NUUUUUGE!!! No. 93 makes the first pass below the goal line to Leon Draisaitl and receives the return pass in between the hashmarks before beating Casey DeSmith five-hole to tie the game. | EDM 1, VAN 1

9:48: CANUCKS GOAL | Leon Draisaitl takes an undisciplined slashing penalty and the Canucks make him pay. Quinn Hughes' point shot deflects off the leg of Evan Bouchard and finds its way in for the opening goal. | VAN 1, EDM 0

20:00: The second period is UNDERWAY!!!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: END OF 1 | A scoreless first period at Rogers Place. You can tell it's pre-season hockey, as both sides looked slightly disjointed on the passing and execution. Edmonton's vaulted power play had two opportunities but couldn't cash in – even with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in their regular spots.

On the penalty kill, the Oilers staved off a 5-on-3 opportunity near the halfway mark of the frame, with both sides going 2-for-2 while shorthanded.

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 the Live Pre-Game Show from Rogers Place!
