"The day was emotional," said Oilers Head Coach Todd McLellan. "You go to bed knowing about the tragedy and realize its magnitude when you wake up. Watching the games tonight around the League, you realize the impact it's had, then you throw in the last game of the season, an overtime and shootout combined with the Sedins - what they meant to the game and the performance from the fans - we're tired.
"It's been a day full of emotion."
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a goal and assist - ending the season with 48 points in 62 games, Draisaitl notched his 25th of the season and Cam Talbot made 36 saves in the win.
Edmonton went 1-for-2 on the power play and 4-for-4 on the penalty kill.
Members from each time joined at centre ice while the volume was lowered and lights dimmed, as Rogers Place bowed their heads in unison for a moment of silence.
At the drop of the puck, the decibel level raised for the Sedin Twins, who were to receive a proper goodbye not only for their gentlemanly farewell to Ryan Smyth on April 12, 2014, but for their many years of class, showmanship and athletic performance.
"Go Sedins Go," was chanted during the opening faceoff. Cheers reverberated when Henrik first handled the puck through the neutral zone at the halfway mark of the first period. Attendants rose when Daniel almost tipped home a point shot late in the frame.
"It was really classy by the organization and the fans were outstanding," said Daniel Sedin of the farewell from Rogers Place.
Darnell Nurse was taken back by the crowd appreciation for the Sedins.
"It's special to be out there for their last game and see the way the fans reacted," he said. "It shows how classy of a city we are."
But there was still a game to be decided and the Oilers would be the ones to open the scoring, converting on their first power play of the night.
