<p>The Oilers opened the scoring just a couple of minutes into the first period. Leon Draisaitl picked up the puck behind Edmonton&#8217;s net and fed Connor McDavid at Boston&#8217;s blueline and he broke in and sniped a snot past Jeremy Swayman&#8230;</p>

<p>That lead didn&#8217;t last for very long as the Bruins knotted the score at 1-1 just 13 seconds later. Garnet Hathaway passed the puck out front and Tomas Nosek was able to skate in untouched and he buried an easy goal past Stuart Skinner&#8230;</p>

<p>The Bruins scored to give themselves a 2-1 lead in the final five minutes of the first period. Nick Foligno brought the puck into Edmonton&#8217;s zone and dropped it off for Charlie Coyle. The Oilers all got caught looking at the puck and Coyle sprung Foligno in alone on a breakaway and he made no mistake&#8230;</p>

<p>The Oilers tied the game in the latter part of the second period. Klim Kostin picked up the puck behind Boston&#8217;s net and fed McDavid who was alone in the slot. McDavid deked out Swayman and buried his 50th goal of the season&#8230;</p>
