The Edmonton Oilers Young Guns were edged out by the Calgary Flames 5-4 in a strange shoot out. The Flames started quickly scoring a goal in the first two minutes of the game. They then added another half way through the period when the Oilers goalie gave the puck away from behind the net. The Oilers began a push back at 13:15 when Leon Draisaitl received a pass in the left hand corner then passed it off to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. RNH then shot the puck toward the net. Taylor Hall was in front of the net to the left and deftly deflected the shot through the arm of the Calgary goaltender to cut the lead 2-1. But before the period ended Calgary added another to make it 3-1.

In the second period the Oilers looked to close the gap. At 10:38 the Young Guns were on a power play and moved into the Calgary zone. Hall was on the right side and passed it wide over to Teddy Purcell on the far left. Purcell then saw Brandon Davidson trailing on the play and moving over the blue line. He passed it over to Davidson who fired a rocket that blasted over the goalie in the top left corner to make the score 3-2. Once again the Flames struck before the end of the period to take another two goal lead and make it 4-2.

The Young Guns started the third period on a power play. The Oilers moved the puck around the Flames zone. Purcell had the puck on the left side and passed it to the middle to Leon Draisaitl who passed to the right to Taylor Hall. Hall made a cross rink pass back to Purcell far on the left hand side. Purcell then snapped a shot into the net before the Flames goal tender could get back across and the lead was cut 4-3. At 6:40 Draisaitl intercepted a pass in his zone and broke out passing up to Taylor Hall moving up on the right hand side. Hall brought the puck into the Flames zone as RNH cut through the middle in front of the net drawing attention. While Draisaitl cut up the middle and to the left. Hall spotted him and saucered a pass tape to tape as Draisaitl snapped the puck home to tie the game 4-4.

In the dying seconds of the third period the Young Oilers attempted to kill the clock to go in to overtime and preserve a point. But the Flames shot the puck into the Oilers zone. It was close to an off side but not called,. the puck went into the left corner and a Flame player fired a shot from behind the goal line. The puck somehow found its way through the pads of the Oilers goal tender and ended up in the net with only 8.7 seconds on the clock to finish the Oiers 5-4.
