The Edmonton Oilers Young Guns lit up the Vancouver Canucks 7-2 as they won their last regular season game. Jordan Eberly scored the first goal on a sweet redirect to put the Oil on the board. Nail Yakupov scored the second goal on a five on three power play. The Canucks responded to tie the score at 2-2. Then the flood gates opened as Justin Schultz scored the third goal on a feed from Taylor Hall. In the next 3 Minutes and 35 seconds the Oilers Young Guns erupted for five goals, setting a new record for the franchise for the fastest five goals.
Justin Shultz earned the first star honors as he scored the winning goal and added three assists. Nail Yakupov scored his first hat trick of his career and was tied for the lead in rookie scoring. Taylor Hall contributed two primary assists to finish with 50 points for the season. While Jordan Eberly scored two goals.
Shultz accepted an invitation to join Team Canada for the Worlds. He joins Hall, Eberly and Dubnyk as they head to Sweden on Tuesday. The Edmonton Oilers will clean out their lockers today as they wrap up another season.
