<p>The Oilers opened the scoring at the mid-way point of the first period when Warren Foegele sprung Derek Ryan on a breakaway with a perfect breakout pass. Ryan deked out Colin Delia and tucked the puck right in between his pad and the post&#8230;</p>

<p>Edmonton extended their lead to 2-0 in the dying seconds of the first frame. Leon Draisaitl dragged two Vancouver defenders with him and Connor McDavid was left all alone in front of the net. The tap-in goal was McDavid&#8217;s 30th of the season&#8230;</p>

<p>In the latter part of the third period, Bo Horvat gave the Canucks a 3-2 lead. Conor Garland won a battle down low, got the puck to the point for Tyler Myers, and his point shot bounced behind the net to Bo Horvat who tucked it past Skinner&#8230;</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The Canucks extended their lead to 4-2 a few minutes later. Strong forechecking from Horvat led to a one-timer shot from Olya Mikheyev that got through Skinner&#8230;</p>
