The Vancouver Canucks beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 Sunday night and now lead the second round series 2-1.
Edmonton’s potent power play was on display early in the game after Brock Boeser was called for tripping Leon Draisaitl. Mattias Ekholm opened the scoring 5:37 into the first period, with seconds left go in the one-man advantage.
But it didn’t take long for the Canucks to respond with a power play goal of their own. Draisaitl went into the box for interference, and Elias Lindholm put one on the board for Vancouver at the 8:45 mark.
At 13:18, Boeser made it 2-1 for the Canucks, and with only 1:26 left go in the first, he scored again. That goal was announced as a hat trick, with some fans at the watch party at Rogers Arena in Vancouver even throwing their headgear onto the ice. But Lindholm was retroactively credited with the Canucks’ first goal.
In the second period, a holding call for Filip Hronek gave Edmonton its second power play, which it capitalized on when Draisaitl scored at 3:36.
Just like in the first, Lindholm replied with a power play goal at 17:35. The five-on-four came after Danell Nurse was called for cross-checking.
