First Period: The first penalty of the game came about five minutes in, after the Devils were mostly pinned in their own zone. Dalton Prout was called for committing interference at the blue line on a dump-in play. Sure enough, Connor McDavid made the Devils pay by taking the puck towards the net and firing a pass through the skates of Andy Greene, and Drake Caggiula buried the puck in the net.
About nine minutes into the period, the Oilers were getting (more) pressure on the Devils, and the puck was tapped by Caggiula to Adam Larsson near the blue line.
