For the Oilers, Evander Kane and Mattias Janmark managed to score, with goalie Calvin Pickard stopping 32 shots.

The match saw both teams’ ability to respond, with Soucy equalizing in the first period following an early goal by Kane, set up by Leon Draisaitl. Although Janmark pushed Edmonton ahead, Di Giuseppe drew things level in the second period. Despite a near miss from McDavid towards the end, Edmonton couldn't clinch the lead again.
