The Oilers found themselves down incredibly early. Rickard Rakell scored 25 seconds into the opening frame, and the Ducks added two more goals in the first to take a 3-0 lead. Patrick Maroon scored toward the end of the opening frame, and the Oilers went into the dressing room down by two.
Edmonton came roaring back in the second period. Thanks to great plays by David Desharnais and Connor McDavid, the Oilers found themselves tied 3-3 in the second. However, the Ducks would score quickly after McDavid, reclaiming the lead, 4-3.
From there, things got worse. The Ducks spent plenty of time in the offensive zone and barely had to work against Edmonton.
