The Oilers won the game 3-2, with Leon Draisaitl scoring the shootout winner. This victory was their second in a row, improving their preseason record to 3-3. Corey Perry and Ben Gleason also scored for Edmonton, while Connor McDavid provided two assists. For the Canucks, Arshdeep Bains and Nate Smith scored, marking their third straight loss.

The first period had no goals. Edmonton had eight shots on Canucks goalie Kevin Lankinen, while Vancouver had seven against Stuart Skinner. The deadlock broke in the second period when Kiefer Sherwood assisted Bains on a power-play goal.

The Oilers tried to respond, but Perry missed a breakaway chance. The Canucks had a slight lead in the third period. However, Perry tied the game, and Gleason scored to put the Oilers ahead with a strong shot, assisted by McDavid.

Vancouver equalized with Smith’s redirection, sending the game to overtime. In a tense finish, Draisaitl stopped a Canucks goal.
