THIRD PERIOD

0.0: OILERS WIN!!! The preseason is over and the real fun can begin after Edmonton closes out their exhibition schedule with a 3-1 victory. 

17:56: WHAT A SNIPE FROM KANE!!! Just four seconds after the penalty to Erne expired, the winger gets the puck on the right in the neutral zone before going bar down on Grubauer from inside the right circle. Simply unstoppable. | EDM 3, SEA 1

20:00: Game on! We'll start the period shorthanded after a scrum at the end of the second frame resulted in Adam Erne taking an instigator penalty.

20:00: The third period is next!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Hyman has Edmonton ahead after 40 minutes, but that lead is in a big part due to some stellar goaltending from Campbell, who made a huge glove save on Tanev with 22 seconds left in the period.

3:50: HYMAN UP HIGH!!! The Kraken were heading up the ice on a three-on-two short-handed rush, but Nugent-Hopkins picked the pocket of Brandon Tanev from behind to send Edmonton right back the other way with numbers. RNH dropped it to Hyman, who avoided one sliding Kraken before going top-right with his shot to put the Oilers ahead.

Hyman deserved a goal tonight after coming close on three break-away attempts in the first period. | EDM 2, SEA 1

20:00: Game on for the middle frame!

20:00: The second period is coming up next.

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: All square through 20 minutes. The Oilers double up the Kraken in shots 12-6 and will feel like they could've had the lead heading into the intermission after a defensive turnover at their blueline led to McCann's opening goal before Bouchard helped make up for his mistake by setting up McDavid at the back door to tie the game.

4:21: McDAVID GETS IT BACK!!! After Bouchard was responsible for Seattle's first, he was critical in setting up the response for Edmonton with the pass to the back door to get the primary helper on the captain's fourth pre-season goal. | EDM 1, SEA 1

7:03: After Evan Bouchard coughed up the puck in the neutral zone, Jared McCann makes him play with an unassisted wrist shot that beats Jack Campbell on Seattle's second shot of the game. | SEA 1, EDM 0

20:00: GAME ON!!!

20:00: Puck drop for tonight's game is slated for 7:00 pm MT. Head over to Oilers Plus 30 minutes prior to puck drop to catch the Live Pre-Game Show from Rogers Place!
