The Oilers had previously led the game by a comfortable 4-1 margin in the 3rd period thanks to two goals from Leon Draisaitl and another tally from Zach Kassian. However, two quick goals 16 seconds apart from Winnipeg would knot the score at 3-3 late in the final regulation frame.
Edmonton goaltender Mike Smith finished with 33 saves, while Connor Hellebuyck finished with 44.
