Edmonton won 9-7 in Vancouver, and the game was effectively decided before the Canucks registered a single goal. The Oilers scored four times in the first period and four more in the second, building an 8-2 cushion that Vancouver's four-goal third could not erase.
Vasily Podkolzin opened it at 10 minutes off a Kasperi Kapanen feed, and Owen Michaels, Evan Bouchard and Ryan Shea followed to make it 0-4 after 20. Leon Draisaitl struck 21 seconds into the middle frame, and after Paul Cotter and Brock Boeser answered, unassisted goals from Connor McDavid (28) and Kapanen (29) pushed it to 2-8. The turning point for the home side came too late: Arshdeep Bains at 40 and Marco Rossi twice (42, 45) trimmed it to 5-8, and Elias Pettersson made it 6-8 at 48 before Draisaitl restored the three-goal margin at 50.
McDavid finished with a goal and three assists, setting up Bouchard, Shea and Draisaitl's second. Rossi was Vancouver's most productive forward with two goals and an assist, and Jamie Oleksiak's goal at 59, assisted by Filip Hronek, closed it at 7-9.
