Game Recap
Edmonton, Alberta — The Edmonton Oilers rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes 6-5 in a shootout on Saturday. The Hurricanes had built a comfortable lead, but a late surge by Edmonton’s top offensive players forced extra time before the Oilers secured their seventh win of the season.
The game began with Leon Draisaitl putting the Oilers on the scoreboard at 8:07 of the first period, assisted by Evan Bouchard and Connor McDavid. Carolina quickly responded, with Jackson Blake tying the game at 10:30, assisted by Shayne Gostisbehere and Sebastian Aho. The Hurricanes took control in the second period, starting with Sebastian Aho's goal 30 seconds into the frame. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins briefly leveled the score for Edmonton at 4:20, but Carolina reeled off two more goals from Seth Jarvis at 12:59 and Logan Stankoven at 17:53, taking a 4-2 lead into the final period. Carolina outshot Edmonton 27-21 in the contest.
Edmonton mounted its comeback with two quick goals to open the third period. Connor McDavid scored at 26 seconds, followed by Leon Draisaitl’s second goal of the night at 2:51, tying the game at 4-4. Both goals featured assists from McDavid and Draisaitl, who each finished the night with two goals and three assists. Carolina briefly regained the lead at 17:20 when Juuso Välimäki found the back of the net. However, McDavid scored his second goal with 1:28 left in regulation, again assisted by Draisaitl, to tie the game at 5-5 and send it to overtime.
The scoreless overtime period led to a shootout, which the Oilers won. Brandon Bussi made 16 saves on 21 shots for Carolina, while Devon Levi stopped 22 of 27 shots for Edmonton to earn the win.
