The Edmonton Oilers' season-opening win streak has ended at five games. The Oilers suffered their first loss of the season against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Tyson Barrie, Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman replied for the Oilers , who suffered their first loss of the season.
The Flyers got a bit of a gift goal midway through the first period when Koskinen coughed the puck up behind the net, leading to Thompson shovelling it in from the goal line. There was a crazy finish to the first as the Oilers tied the game up on the power play with 18 seconds left when a McDavid pass was inadvertently deflected in by a Flyers defender. However, with less than a second to play, Philadelphia went up 3-2 when Darnell Nurse mishandled the puck and Atkinson batted it in out of mid-air.
