SECOND PERIOD
20:00: The second period is coming up!
FIRST PERIOD
15.5: DRAISAITL DRIVES HOME NO. 40! Hyman continues to battle with Markstrom as Nugent-Hopkins finds Draisaitl for a one-timer in the right circle that goes in off the netminder’s chest protector to provide a goal at the end of a great opening period, giving the GErman his fifth career 40-goal campaign. 1-0 Oilers.
1:05: Hyman gets heavily involved around the Flames crease and has a few run-ins with Jacob Markstrom. Corey Perry gets the puck down low and is tripped up to create an Oilers power play.
4:16: Sharangovich evens it up with an interference call on Connor Brown trying to buy his defenceman more time to make a play.
4:58: After Bouchard’s one-timer nearly went in off Hyman at one end, the defenceman ended up taking a tripping penalty after the puck escaped the blueline and let to a good Calgary scoring chance. That’s three power plays for the Flames already, but Edmonton’s penalty kill has held strong.
7:41: The Flames go to their second power play off an interference call for Brett Kulak on Martin Pospisil.
8:21: Now it’s Hyman breaking free, but he puts a backhand wide of the net!
9:35: Warren Foegele pulls his shot wide on a short-handed breakaway after the puck rolled off his stick! The Flames come down the ice and hit the post on a slap shot by Daniil Miromanov before it bounces off Pickard and is eventually covered.
11:16: Corey Perry is called for slashing as the Flames enjoy the early direction of momentum.
20:00: GAME ON!
20:00: The first period in Calgary is coming up at 8:07 p.m. MT.
