The game was marred by a series of refereeing infractions that somehow all got missed.

# 29 Leon Draisaitl , 7 , scored 7 shot attempts for the Oilers .

#44 Josh Brown , 4 , led the Oilers in shorthanded ice time with 3:23 , thanks in part to other defencemen taking all 4 minor penalties.

# 74 Stu Skinner , 5 , delivered a series of key saves to keep the score at 0 -0 deep into the first period.

Lost his cool in the late stages after being pinned to the ice by Garland for an extended period as the clock ticked down, and took out his frustrations on the Vancouver agitator with a crosscheck to the head.

While his frustration with the situation was understandable, his loss of self-control was unacceptable, and his grade docked by 2 points.
