The Edmonton Oilers were looking to remain undefeated to start their preseason, but unfortunately, the Vancouver Canucks were too much to handle. In a high-scoring affair, the Oilers couldn’t keep up the ace and fell 5-3.
The Canucks were the team to strike first about twelve minutes in. Troy Stecher buried power-play tally from Anton Rodin and Alex Edler. However, they held the lead for barely two minutes long, when Drake Caggiula scored on a deflection try on a shot from Patrick Maroon.
