VANCOUVER — J.T. Miller scored in the final minute of the game and the Vancouver Canucks came back for a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 of their second-round playoff series Thursday.

The win gave the Canucks a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven series with Game 6 scheduled for Saturday in Edmonton.

Carson Soucy and Phillip Di Giuseppe both returned to the lineup and contributed goals for the Canucks.

Soucy sat out Game 5 due to a suspension and Di Giuseppe missed the game for a personal issue.
