Alexander Kerfoot forced overtime with 7:04 left in regulation after tapping in a long feed from Sean Durzi, setting the stage for Utah to claim its first win over Edmonton. Nick Schmaltz scored twice in the second period to rally the Mammoth from a two-goal deficit. JJ Peterka and Logan Cooley also scored, and Karel Vejmelka had 21 saves. Curtis Lazar, Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Vasily Podkolzin, and Colton Dach scored for the Oilers, who lost their second straight. Tristan Jarry made 25 stops. Utah opened the scoring in the first when Peterka converted a feed from Ian Cole at the 1:53 mark. Edmonton then scored three straight in the period. Lazar beat two defenders and slid the puck underneath Vejmelka with a well-timed backhand shot for an equalizer 11 seconds after Peterka. McDavid put the Oilers ahead at the 8:56 mark when scored on the power play. Nugent-Hopkins extended the lead with 5:17 left in the first. Utah scored three times in the second period with two goals by Schmaltz and another by Cooley. Podkolzin scored at 16:06 and the teams were tied at 4 after two periods. Dach collected the puck off a blocked shot and scored a second-chance goal to give Edmonton a 5-4 lead at the 2:10 mark of the third period.
