THIRD PERIOD

0.0: A MASSIVE STUUUUU SAVE AT THE DEATH!!! The Oilers are victorious!!! Edmonton uses the power play (2-for-4) and 17 saves from Skinner to win 4-3 over the Wild and extend their win streak to six games. Nugent-Hopkins with a quiet four points, while Evan Bouchard scores twice – including the game-winner.

18:28: BOUCH BLAST AHEAD!!! No. 2 tees up Draisaitl's pass for his second goal of the game on an unstoppable blast from the top of the zone. With the secondary assist, Nugent-Hopkins now has a quiet four-assist evening. | EDM 4, MIN 3

20:00: The third period is underway!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: A five-goal second period sees us all square at three through 40 minutes.

1:30: PATIENT POWER PLAY!!! Eriksson-Ek broke his twig to make it a partial two-man advantage and the Oilers made the most of of the extra ice by passing the puck around before Leon Draisaitl connected on a one-timer from the right circle. | EDM 3, MIN 3

8:02: WILD GOAL | Connor Dewar goes upstairs with an unstoppable one-timer. | MIN 3, EDM 2

18:39: SICK McDAVID GOAL!!! The captain takes the onus upon himself to provide the immediate answer for two quick Wild goals by out-waiting Marc-Andre Fleury and tucking the puck in at the near post. Another one for the McDavid highlight-reel echelon. | EDM 2, MIN 2

19:18: WILD GOAL | Boldy sets up Joel Eriksson Ek for a one-timer that beats Skinner just 27 seconds after the Wild equalized. | MIN 2, EDM 1

FIRST PERIOD

20:00: Bouchard's top-shelf snipe has Edmonton ahead 1-0 on Minnesota through 20 minutes.

4:44: BOUCH ROOFS IT!!! Ryan Nugent-Hopkins sauces it to the defenceman across the slot from the left corner before it's ripped top shelf for the opening goal. Bouchard now has a point in 10 straight games (3G, 10A), the longest point streak of his career after only reaching four on two occasions in his career. | EDM 1, MIN 0
