FIRST PERIOD

17:38: NYI PENALTY | Emil Heineman five-minute major & a game misconduct for kneeing on Isaac Howard

Heineman goes knee-on-knee with Howard in the neutral zone, leading to the Oilers forward needing to be helped off the ice. Heineman is assessed a five-minute major that's upheld by an official review, resulting in his ejection and an extended power play for the Oilers.

The Oilers & Islanders are likely to play this game with 11 forwards, with Howard's status uncertain for the remainder of the game, but he was unable to put any weight on his left leg.
