Oilers defeat Flames in debut of Edmonton's NHL hub-bubble. MORE:
It was the lone exhibition game for the two teams prior to the weekend start of the NHL's play-in round.
Calgary battled back in the second period, taking the game to Edmonton on the forecheck and outshooting them 16-7. Lindholm, on the power play, jumped on a loose puck at the crease and scored high on Oiler goalieThe Oilers put the game away late in the third, with Russell and McDavid scoring 33 seconds apart.
At times it sounded like a late night beer league game at the local arena, albeit at a slightly faster pace: players could be heard calling for pucks, swearing blue streaks at opponents, and sometimes derisively asking the referee what game he was watching. The slap of the sticks and the boom of the puck echoed off the plastic and mesh seats.
