Oilers superstar Connor McDavid opened the scoring less than two minutes into the game, skating with amazing speed and puck control past defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson through the right-wing circle, and slid the puck past Darcy Kuemper on the netminder’s right side.
Less than two minutes later, Coyotes’ forward Michael Grabner took control of a puck mishandled by the Oilers’ Leon Draisaitl along the left-wing and rifled a shot past Edmonton goalkeeper Mikko Koskinen that went over his shoulder on the short side.
The game ended tied at 2 apiece, with Coyotes forward Carl Soderberg and the Oilers’ Gaetan Haas both lighting the lamp.
