The Oilers Rookies converted three of their seven power plays, getting man-advantage goals from Brady Stonehouse, Carl Berglund and Matvey Petrov, but they never led in the game as each of those markers came in an equalizing fashion.<\/p>\n
“It’s the Battle of Alberta, right?” Petrov said of the feisty affair and ensuing special teams showdown. “There’s always emotion in the game and stuff like that, but I think we did a really good job today and I’m looking forward to our next game.”<\/p>\n
Ilya Nikolaev scored Calgary’s first two goals, and Matt Coronato put them up 3-2 with 11:37 to go in the third period on the power play. But it was Petrov who forced extra time when he wired a one-timer top shelf past netminder Connor Murphy with 7:29 remaining in regulation.<\/p>\n
“He made some nice plays on the power play,” Chaulk said of Petrov, who also set up Berglund’s goal by banking a pass off the centreman’s skate. “He sees some ice, he shoots the puck, and he makes some backdoor sneaky passes.”<\/p>\n
