Watch all three of Hyman's goals against Ottawa on Saturday

THIRD PERIOD

0:00: The Senators pull Forsberg for the extra attacker but can't cut into Edmonton's lead and it's a 3-1 final to make it SEVEN WINS IN A ROW! Skinner is named third star with 29 saves, Bouchard snags second star with three assists and Hyman earns first-star honours with his fourth career hat-trick!

2:50: IT'S A ZACH TRICK! McDavid finds Hyman at the side of the net for the tap-in to give the winger three goals on the night and TWENTY-FIVE on the season, extending the Oilers lead to 3-1!

3:33: Zub hauls down Foegele with an interference infraction for his second penalty of the night, sending the Oilers back to the PP as they cling to a 2-1 lead.

4:58: The Senators think they've scored on a mad scramble in the Oilers crease, but the officials disallow the goal initially due to incidental contact with Skinner by Brady Tkachuk. Ottawa challenges the call and it's overturned to make the score 2-1, with Kelly getting credit.

7:52: ANOTHER KILL! Edmonton erases Ottawa's man advantage and even earns the best chance during the power play as Janmark is denied by Forsberg on a partial breakaway.

9:52: Bouchard is called for interference, sending the Oilers to the penalty kill for the second time.

17:14: GOAL! HYMAN AGAIN! The winger takes a pass from Bouchard and rifles a wrist shot under Forsberg's blocker-side arm with the puck trickling over the goal line for his 24th tally of the season, putting him in a tie for fifth in the NHL! The Oilers lead the Senators 2-0 and are outshooting them 34-18.

20:00: The puck is down and the final frame has begun.

SECOND PERIOD

0:00: Edmonton takes a 1-0 lead into the final frame thanks to Bouchard's PPG.

1:52: GOAL! FINALLY! Originally credited to Bouchard, the Oilers get a power-play marker on a Hyman tip in front for the winger's team-leading 23rd tally of the season. The defenceman lifted a wrist shot from the point that Hyman just got his stick on to fool Forsberg, finally solving the Ottawa netminder.

2:14: McDavid passes it down to Nugent-Hopkins who finds Hyman at the top of the crease but he can't slide it past Forsberg and the man advantage continues.

3:31: Can't do that! Artyem Zub grabs McDavid's arm and gets called for holding to send the Oilers to their second PP of the night.

6:05: Bouchard makes a nifty dangle around an Ottawa defender and sets up McDavid for a one-timer in Draisaitl's usual spot but – and stop us if you've heard this one before – Forsberg makes the save.

8:08: Yikes, that was close! After Nurse and Foegele collide in the attacking zone, Parker Kelly is sprung on a partial breakaway for the Senators, but Skinner denies his wrist shot with the blocker.

13:35: McDavid and Nugent-Hopkins execute a high-speed give-and-go but again Forsberg is equal to the task as he denies the Oilers captain's forehand deke with his outstretched pad.

20:00: The puck is down to start the second as the Oilers look to open the scoring on the man advantage.

FIRST PERIOD

0:00: The opening frame comes to an end scoreless, but the Oilers have a 15-8 advantage in shots and will open the second with 40 seconds remaining on their power play.

1:20: McDavid makes a ridiculous no-look backhand pass from behind the net to find Nugent-Hopkins in front, but Forsberg denies the shot. However, the Oilers head to the power play after an interference infraction by Jakob Chychrun on the play.

6:21: DOUBLE MINOR KILLED! A few Skinner stops and some timely clears allow the Oilers to get back to even strength unscathed.

10:21: Kane gets called for a high-sticking double-minor after catching Claude Giroux with his errant blade during a battle along the boards in the Ottawa zone.

13:57: McDavid makes his mark on the game, weaving around Eric Brannstrom in the Senators zone and cutting to the net but ultiimately getting denied by Forsberg as the Oilers are outshooting Ottawa 6-1.

18:20: Ottawa manages to clear the zone after a threatening shift from the McLeod-Draisaitl-Foegele line that stays hot with a flurry of scoring chances, as Anton Forsberg manages to hold the fort.

20:00: And we're underway as the Oilers aim for a seventh straight victory!

20:00: The first period of tonight's game at Rogers Place will begin at 8:11 p.m. MT.
