NHL 26: Oilers survive Skinner’s third-period collapse to beat Canucks 3–2 OT

The Edmonton Oilers survived another turbulent third period from Stuart Skinner—even in the virtual world.

According to NHL 26, Edmonton escaped with a 3–2 overtime victory against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night at Rogers Place. Connor McDavid delivered the decisive goal early in the extra frame, igniting the home crowd after Vancouver erased a two-goal deficit late in regulation.

Quinn Hughes led the Canucks’ comeback effort with two third-period goals, both assisted by Elias Pettersson. Tyler Myers also picked up an assist, while Thatcher Demko turned aside 22 shots in a composed performance.
