GAME RECAP: Oilers 5, Lightning 3 (NHL.com)

The Oilers win an electric contest over the Lightning on Thursday night to stretch their win streak to five games.

"Going into third periods, we feel like we have a chance to be mature, be professional, and that's kind of been a little bit of a stigma in the last season. "I think that's the quality of a team that's been in the Stanley Cup Final for the last three years," Head Coach Jay Woodcroft said. I think there was a stretch of games there where Stuart was commanding the net. They did, and were able to come out in the end." Then they got guys who wanted to create a spark, and they did. Two competitive teams that both were coming in on streaks and wanted to keep them going, and I think they came out flat. Maybe earlier in parts of the season we weren't having the best thirds, so I think our mentality has changed a little bit and it's been nice." He got hit right on the numbers in front of their bench, and that kind of started something there," Woodcroft added. Maroon's minor penalty that led to Draisaitl's 27th goal of the campaign set up a physical finish to the frame. The German made it a two-goal lead for Edmonton with a one-timer from just inside the left circle as the energy levels in Rogers Place reached the highest they have all season. I think we've done a good job of doing that since the second half started here." "You can feel it on the ice, you can feel it around the room.
