Zach Hyman scored the winner for the Oilers .

Zach Hymans scored a late empty-net goal to pull the game back to 2 -2.

Leon Draisaitl opened the scoring with a wicked backhand from the slot just 20 seconds in.

Set up the powerplay game winner with a terrific pass at the offensive blueline that sprang RNH and Hyman 2 -on-1 that sprang up Janmark for the empty netter.

Viktor Arvidsson was the buzzsaw winger, though no joy on the scoreboard.

# 53 Jeff Skinner scored a spectacular goal with a twisting, near-horizontal dive behind the Flames net to reach around and somehow find the rebound of his own initial shot that had hit the post and tap it home.

# 74 Stu Skinner was heavily screened on both goals, one tipped from eye level right in front, the other a seeing eye shot from the point that found its way.

# 90 Corey Perry made a better door than window on the 2 -2, but mustered none off his own stick.
