OVERTIME

3:25: Arizona wins. Matias Maccelli lines up a wrist shot from between the circles that beats Pickard over the glove to secure the 3-2 win for the Coyotes, who end a seven-game losing streak against Edmonton with a spirited performance despite the rumours of their relocation to Salt Lake City next season. The Oilers have a three-game win streak snapped in the process. Edmonton will conclude their back-to-back tomorrow night with an important game in the race for the Pacific Division crown against the Canucks.

4:30: TWO MASSIVE SAVES ON SCHMALTZ! Pickard slides across on the saucer pass to take away Schmaltz's first great chance before following up on the ensuing one-timer with another post-to-post stop to keep overtime rolling.

5:00: Overtime has begun!

THIRD PERIOD

0.0: Clayton Keller has his chance to win it from the slot stopped sharply by Pickard and we're heading to overtime, tied 2-2 after 60 minutes.

1:14: Vejmelka follows up Pickard by squeezing Nurse's wrist shot between is left pad and arm late in the game, keeping out a dangerous chance for the defenceman.

5:55: Pickard squeezes the puck at the far post after the Oilers fail to clear their own zone on Arizona's best chance of the third period.

7:26: Edmonton is outshooting Arizona 34-17, but we remain tied at two coming down the stretch in this game.

18:48: THE DOCTOR DELIVERS! Nurse's shot from the point goes through traffic and under the blocker of Vejmelka, who was heavily screened in front, for his 10th goal of the campaign. Warren Foegele and Evander Kane get the helpers on Edmonton's equalizer 1:12 into the final frame. 2-2.

20:00: The third period is underway with the Oilers trailing the Coyotes 2-1.

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: AFTER 2 | Arizona 2, Edmonton 1.

3:11: ANOTHER POST FOR EDMONTON! Hyman is picked out for a one-timer brilliantly by Draisaitl, but the Oilers leading goalscorer puts his shot off the far post.

6:31: McBain is hauled down by Ekholm, leading to an Arizona power play.

14:23: The Coyotes grab the lead again. Logan Cooley bats a rebound out of midair and it somehow manages – almost in slow motion – to slide five-hole on Pickard and inside the right post. 2-1 Arizona.

18:11: HENRIQUE ON THE DOORSTEP! No. 19 whacks a rebound five-hole on Vejmelka after Kane had put a backhander into the crease, creating havoc for the forward to capitalize on and convert his 23rd goal of the '23-24 regular season. Troy Stecher gets a secondary assist against his old team in his opportunity with Cody Ceci out with a minor injury. 1-1.

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

AFTER 1 | Coyotes 1, Oilers 0.

2:21: So close to a Nugent-Hopkins birthday goal. Evan Bouchard put a pass to the back door for No. 93, but it struck his skate and was ultimately cleared by Vejmelka to leave the chance unfinished. At the other end, Bouchard managed to clear the puck over the glass with a wild lash at a pass attempt to draw an unlucky delay of game penalty.

7:19: Pickard denies Keller with the glove on a wide-open look for the Arizona leading goalscorer.

9:59: KANE OFF THE POST! The winger has his first shot saved by Karel Vejmelka before striking the iron after Warren Foegele wrapped a puck in front from behind the Coyotes' net.

13:51: The 'Yotes take the first penalty of the night on a slash from Michael Carcone onto the stick of Derek Ryan.

14:40: The Desert Dogs get on the board first. Pickard gets handcuffed by a Jack McBain shot that came off a rush created by former Oilers prospect Michael Kesselring before a second-generation Coyotes player in Josh Doan buried the rebound from between the hashmarks. 1-0 Coyotes.

16:43: Sean Durzi goes through the legs with the puck on Vincent Desharnais and tries to cut back around Pickard with his following move, but the Oilers netminder reads it and makes the save.

20:00: GAME ON!

20:00: The first period at Rogers Place will begin at 7:08 p.m. MT.

Connor McDavid will be out of the lineup for the second straight game after not taking the ice for warm-ups, and Troy Stecher will take the place of Cody Ceci, who's also day-to-day.
