The Vancouver Canucks had their worst game of the series in Game 6, allowing the Edmonton Oilers to stay alive.
The Vancouver Canucks headed into Edmonton on Saturday night with a chance to eliminate the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of their second-round series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Midway through the first period, Dylan Holloway opened the scoring for the Oilers with a magnificent individual effort, dancing around Quinn Hughes at the blue line before opening up Arturs Silovs' five-hole with a quick deke. It didn't much matter for the Oilers, who dominated the second period and scored twice to take a two-goal lead into the final frame.
The two teams then traded minute-long 5-on-3 power plays — a major opportunity for first the Oilers to put the game away for good, then a chance for the Canucks to kick off a comeback. Neither team, however, could capitalize.
