In the first period, Corey Perry stuck out his hands.

He mocked Samuel Montembeault, Jayden Struble, and Lane Hutson.

After killing off a 5 on 3, Cole Caufield, freshly on the ice, created a turnaround and scored his 31st goal of the season.

He has now scored in a fourth consecutive game.

In the second period, the Oilers’ fifth power play finally got the better of the Canadiens’ fifth penalty kill.

Leon Draisaitl outsmarted Samuel Montembeault with a perfect shot.

Most goals, Oilers history:

Jari Kurri 474
Glenn Anderson 417

But as in the first period, Montreal tied the game.

Lane Hutson did all the work for Joel Armia, who scored his 11th goal of the season.

In the third period, the Oilers dominated but never managed to pierce the Montembeault wall.

Off to overtime, then!

Both teams seemed to be heading for a shootout, but Evan Bouchard, who made 1000 turnarounds during the game, outsmarted Montembeault.

EVAN BOUCHARD OVERTIME WINNER

Final score: 3-2 Oilers, who put an end to the Canadiens’ five-game winning streak. Big point earned, however.

On Saturday, Martin St-Louis’ team will face the Flames at home.

Overtime
– Poor him.

Poor Josh Anderson can’t catch a break, but can catch a Brendan Gallagher dump-in to the face. pic.twitter.com/aRd3kh3qXu

– Transaction during the game.

Confirmed both Lauko and Khusnutdinov heading to the Bruins. They were the 2 #mnwild forwards in today’s analysis predicted to be potentially goners.

Wild were worried about Lauko’s injuries ahead

Justin Brazeau coming back. 27yo, 6-5, RWer didn’t play tonight in Raleigh.

– Another Centre Bell far from Montreal.

Habs fans in Edmonton…merci!!! GHG!!

– New strategy.

Nick Suzuki seems to be used on both power play waves by MSL.
