Other than a few mistakes the Canucks have been really good tonight, incredible job fighting back to take the lead in third
Canucks take their first lead of the night at the most inopportune time for the Oilers. Garland scores on one Skinner will want back. 5-4 Canucks.
This #Canucks team. It was 4-1. Now it's 5-4. Conor Garland scores off of the rush to give Vancouver their first lead of the night.
Wasn't it 4-1 Oilers a while ago. 5-4 Vancouver now.
Lordy, Oilers
#Canucks have done it again, turning a two-goal third period deficit into 5-4 lead. #Oilers do not have a shot on goal through 14:26 of the third period.
Sure, why not. Big Zadorov with the big windup and nothing but glove-side net at 13:47. 4-4. #Canucks
Nikita Zadorov, who else? Beats Stuart Skinner with a point blast. It's 4-4 and the Oilers are on the ropes. Edmonton hasn't managed a single shot on goal this period... #Canucks
Zadorov with goals now in 3 straight home games. None bigger than that one. #Canucks have clawed their way back
Zadorov ties it at 13:47. Oilers have 0 shots in the third
Zadorov ties it for the Canucks. It's 4-4 with 6:13 left in the third.

Oilers still looking for the first shot on goal in 3rd…9 mins left in period
Holloway for tripping. White towels are waiving. The green men are doing handstands. #Canucks fans are loud. And Vancouver has a power-play opportunity, 9:37 remaining on the clock and a chance to tie this game.
J.T. Miller puts the Canucks within one. 👀 (🎥: @Canucks) https://t.co/qvJZj5AMi6
It's a one-goal hockey game. Miller tips in a pass from Boeser at the side of the net with the teams at four-on-four. 4-3 EDM.
Miller with the deft deflection of Boeser feed at side of the net to raise the roof. 4-3. #Canucks
Connor McDavid couldn't quite earn the clear at the blue line, #Canucks keep the play alive, and Boeser finds Miller for a whip smart deflection. Rogers Arena has life again, and it's a 1-goal game.
Oilers haven’t had a shot since they scored the 4th goal
By my count the #Letsgooilers have 4 shots in the last 34 mins but continue to lead 4-2
