Canucks Win Game 5 vs. Oilers as NHL Fans Hail J.T. Miller's Game-Winning Goal

J.T. Miller scored with just over 30 seconds remaining in regulation to put the Vancouver Canucks ahead in a critical Friday night Game 5.

Miller's last-minute tally sealed the Canucks' 3-2 win and put the Edmonton Oilers on the brink of elimination from the Western Conference semifinals.

The Canucks lead the series 3-2.

The game-winner represented redemption for Miller, who was on the ice when Evan Bouchard scored a similar last-minute goal to put the Oilers ahead in Game 4 with 38.1 seconds left on the clock.

Miller took the blame for that loss in a text to Rick Tocchet, the Canucks' head coach said after Game 4.
