THIRD PERIOD

0.0: WHAT A NIGHT! Hyman gets the late call on his hat trick as the hats rain down late to celebrate his fourth hat trick of the year, with his third goal being originally given to Bouchard, but the Oilers blow the Capitals out with a 7-2 win. Connor Brown didn't get a hat trick, but the fans throw hats on the ice to celebrate his first goal in 55 games with Edmonton. Connor McDavid has a goal and two assists and Leon Draisaitl records a goal and three helpers as Edmonton wins their 40th game of the season. Skinner makes 23 saves to reach 30 wins.

3:02: Ovechkin is going to be dreaming about Skinner tonight after the Oilers netminder flat-out DENIES the all-time great with a massive glove save.

9:00: CONNOR BROWN SCORESSSSSS! HIS FIRST OF THE SEASON! Rogers Place has never been more electric for a 7-2 goal after Evander Kane's pass on a two-on-one goes in off the winger's skate, relieving him of his heavy burden by picking up his first tally as a member of the Oilers.

9:17: FOEGELE IN ON THE FUN! The winger puts away his 15th of the season from inside the hashmarks to make it 6-2.

5:47: NUGE STEALS AND HYMAN DELIVERS! Nugent-Hopkins picks off an errant pass in the neutral zone to set up a two-on-one that Hyman finishes off with a shot off the far post and in that flat-foots Kuemper in the Capitals' crease. Make it 45 goals on the year for Hyman as the Oilers go up 4-2 on the winger's second of the game. Hyman has now scored in 10 straight home games to tie Wayne Gretzky for the franchise record.

1:41: SKINNER THAT'S RIDICULOUS! The Oilers netminder takes No. 841 away from quite possibly the NHL's greatest goalscorer on an incredible diving stop with Ovechkin staring at an open cage. Simply Stu-pendous.

8:36: HYMAN ON THE REBOUND! Just 29 seconds after the Capitals had tied it, Zach Hyman gets a bounce in front and buries his 44th of the season on the second rebound against Kuemper to lift the Oilers back into a one-goal lead. 3-2.

10:41: A minor penalty for holding goes to Ryan McLeod on Nick Jensen. Washington have answered back quickly and have an opportunity on the power play to tie it up.

11:30: Capitals cut the deficit to 2-1. After Troy Stecher clears a puck to the corner with his glove, Ivan Miroshnichenko turns around and rips it off the far post and in.

13:02: McDAVID WALKS IN AND SCORES! The capitals penalty kill leaves the captain wide open at the top of the zone and he exploits the space in front of him and fires away his 25th of the year. Two power-play goals for the Oilers from Draisaitl and McDavid lift the OIlers into a 2-0 lead.

13:35: Dylan Strome takes the Capitals' second high-sticking penalty after getting the twig up on Adam Henrique near the benches. Edmonton goes back to the power play.

15:24: TRY, TRY & TRY AGAIN!
