THIRD PERIOD

0.0: GAME OVER!!! The Oilers extend their win streak to five games with a 6-1 victory over the Hurricanes on Wednesday night, with Hyman picking up the hat-trick and McDavid doing the same of the assist variety. Let's keep the good times rolling on Friday night when the Minnesota Wild visit Rogers Place. 

10:25: HYMAN HAS THREE!!! HERE COME THE HATS!!! McDavid does a dirty dangle entering Carolina's zone to get around the defence and send it across to Hyman to record his hat-trick and team-leading 15th goal. He's Top 10 in the NHL for goals and is showing no signs of stopping. A break in play here as we collect all the chapeaus off the Rogers Place ice. | EDM 6, CAR 1

12:55: CANES GOAL | Captain Jordan Stall beats Skinner on an odd-man rush after Jaccob Slavin sauced it over. | EDM 5, CAR 1

20:00: The third period is underway!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Oilers FIVE, Canes ZERO after 40 minutes.

17:11: FOEGELE FOR FIVE!!! No. 37 burns Jesperi Kotkaniemi in the neutral zone and goes in alone to beat Antti Raanta on a breakaway that increases the lead to five. The winger gets his second point, along with Mattias Janmark getting his third assist of the evening already. | EDM 5, CAR 0

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Won't be many complaints about that period as the Oilers take a four-goal lead into the first intermission.

5:57: HAVE ANOTHER ZACH!!! After Evan Bouchard scooped a puck in the neutral zone to McDavid, the captain works the perfect tic-tac-toe with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Hyman to lift Edmonton into a four-goal lead with his second goal of the night. | EDM 4, CAR 0

14:14: HARD WORK HYMAN!!! The winger does all the work down low to spin away from a defender, drive to the net and wrap Edmonton's third under the left pad of Pyotr Kochetkov, whose night is now over after giving up three goals on six shots. Evan Bouchard picks up his second helper of the period. | EDM 3, CAR 0

19:19: EKHOLM AT THE BACK DOOR!!! A fast start gets even faster for Edmonton! Mattias Ekholm creeps down from the blueline and puts Connor McDavid's cross-crease pass away for the two-goal lead less than a minute into the game! | EDM 2, CAR 0

19:32: FAST START FORECHECK!!! Warren Foegele wins the footrace to the corner before picking up the puck and throwing it in front to Ryan McLeod, who puts it five-hole just 28 seconds into the game! | EDM 1, CAR 0

20:00: GAME ON!!!

20:00: The first period of tonight's game will begin at 7:52 p.m. MT.
