On the surface, the game appeared to be a battle between two highly-skilled goaltenders. Cam Talbot and Matt Murray were outstanding in net.
Ian Cole finally got past Talbot early in the third period, giving the Penguins a 1-0 lead until the final minutes of regulation, where Connor McDavid scored on a quick shot that beat Murray. Patrick Maroon and Oscar Kelfbom picked up the helpers.
The game then went to overtime, where a failed Edmonton scoring attempt led to a 2-on-1 for Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel, who then fired the puck past Talbot. The Oilers would fall, but get one point and advance to 2-5-1 on the year.
