5:07: A WELL-DESERVED LAVOIE GOAL!!! Dylan Holloway picks out the Chambly, Que. product out front for a one-timed snapshot that makes it a five-goal game. It's his second tally of the exhibition campaign. | EDM 7, CGY 2

8:56: GIVEAWAY GAFFE!!! A giveaway onto the tap of McDavid by Vladar to the left of his own net is sent back across the ice to Kane, who puts it into the open net after the Flames netminder tried to make up for his error.
