Crouse tied it 2-2 just 35 seconds later at 11:59 while on the power play. Michael Carcone<\/a> played the puck off the end boards from the blue line and it bounced in front to Crouse, where he dropped to one knee and buried a snap shot to the glove side from the low slot.<\/p>\n

McDavid put the Oilers in front 3-2 at 12:07, splitting the defense and chasing a bouncing puck before chipping it over Vejmelka’s glove from the edge of the right circle.<\/p>\n

Roslovic scored his second of the game at 15:04. After Zach Hyman<\/a> sent a shot off the crossbar, Roslovic settled the rebound in the left circle and put a snap shot through the five-hole.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great answer from our team, always good to regain leads,\u201d Roslovic said. \u201cGreat short-handed goal and then a great goal by (McDavid). So yeah, as much as we can keep the lead the better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kerfoot said: \u201cWe obviously just didn’t have enough of a pushback, in the third especially. We\u2019re down two goals in a game, fighting for a playoff spot against a team who’s also fighting, and we didn’t even make them work for it, didn’t make them earn it. Disappointing. It\u2019s on us.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDavid scored his second goal and 40th of the season into an empty net 19:52 of the third period to secure the 5-2 final.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoal-scoring is something that has not come easy to me or naturally to me,\u201d McDavid said. \u201cSomething that I work at, something that I focus on and set it at the beginning of the year, trying to shoot more pucks and take pucks [to the net]. There’s good nights and bad nights in that area but fortunate to have scored a couple goals in this League.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: McDavid is one assist away from his 800th in the NHL. … McDavid recorded his fifth career 40-goal season and surpassed Glenn Anderson<\/a> (four) for the fourth-most in Oilers history. … Mammoth forward Barrett Hayton<\/a> left the game nine seconds into the first period with an upper-body injury after colliding with teammate Jack McBain<\/a>. There was no update postgame. “He will have more exams tomorrow, and we’ll figure out the nature of it,\u201d Tourigny said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crouse tied it 2-2 just 35 seconds later at 11:59 while on the power play.
