The Blues came back from a 2-0 deficit to pull even with the Oilers early in the third period, but it was the Oilers who got the next goal and went on to beat the Blues, 4-2, on Friday night in Edmonton, Alberta.
Forward Robert Thomas had gotten the Blues even 2:12 into the third, not long after he had put a shot off the post. This time, he swatted in a shot from in front of the goal off a pass from Tyler Bozak.
Just 2:01 later, Edmonton regained the lead. The Blues had the puck in the Edmonton end but the Oilers got it out of the zone and when Justin Faulk came across the ice to defend, it left both defensemen on that side and Leon Draisaitl alone on the right, where Kailer Yamamoto threaded a perfect pass to him and he scored his second goal of the night.
