In a recent NHL playoff game, Mattias Ekholm of the Edmonton Oilers scored the opening goal on a power play, putting his team ahead 1-0 against the Vancouver Canucks. This goal marks Ekholm's third consecutive game scoring, highlighting his significant impact this postseason. The Canucks responded shortly after with Elias Lindholm tipping in a shot from Brock Boeser during their power play, leveling the score at 1-1.
Lindholm tips in Boeser shot on a Canucks power play. Tie game. It's 1-1. Ryan failed to clear the zone, which led to sustained pressure from Vancouver.

Ekholm having an awesome playoffs thus far. https://t.co/B5NH7BC9HP
Follow the bouncing puck. Kane's shot from left wing deflects wide right and Ekholm has nothing but net as Silovs dives across in vain. 1-0. #Canucks

Tough bounce against the #Canucks, who did an excellent work to get Edmonton's vaunted PP1 off of the ice. Myers blocked a shot from the flank, but the puck trickled perfectly to Mattias Ekholm and it's 1-0 Oilers.
Mattias Ekholm has now scored in three straight games. The icebreaker. #Oilers
