Kapanen tied it 2-2 at 4:27 of the third period. He took a drop pass in the slot from Vasily Podkolzin<\/a>, deked in on Stolarz and put a shot top shelf over the goalie’s glove.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can’t be letting in five, six, seven, goals per game, it’s just too much. It’s just not the right way to win,\u201d Kapanen said. \u201cI feel like we’re just always trailing by two, three goals and they’ve scored four or five. As a good team, we can’t be doing that moving forward, and it’s something that we’ve addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, it doesn’t happen overnight. We’re trying, guys. We’re trying, and we want to be better defensively, but that’s just the way it went tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Tavares<\/a> put Toronto ahead 3-2 on a 5-on-3 power play at 7:42, taking a pass from William Nylander<\/a> for a backdoor tap-in.<\/p>\n

On the ensuing 5-on-4 power play, Maccelli made it 4-2 at 8:13. He scored his second of the night with a snap shot from the bottom of the right circle past Ingram\u2019s glove.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall tonight, only two (puck related) penalties that we take, and that\u2019s usually a pretty good night, but just the timing was tough,\u201d Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. \u201cI thought we did a lot of good things, especially in the second period. We’re probably unfortunate just to get one goal, especially in the second, and when we finally did get that goal, it was erased immediately with them responding to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bobby McMann<\/a> scored into an empty net at 17:22 for the 5-2 final.<\/p>\n

NOTES: Edmonton went 0-for-1 on the power play. Toronto was 2-for-2. … The Oilers have given up 30 goals in their past six games. … Oilers forwards Connor McDavid<\/a> (10 points), Leon Draisaitl<\/a> (11), and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins<\/a> (four) each had his point streak end at four games. … Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard<\/a> had his point streak end at five games (four goals, eight assists).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kapanen tied it 2-2 at 4:27 of the third period.
