Kulak tied the game at 1-1 at 12:18 of the second period by redirecting a one-timer from Darnell Nurse's point past Hill's left shoulder.

Hyman gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead at 15:56 by following the puck over the boards behind the Vegas net before unexpectedly bouncing toward him over Hill's right creel and putting it in play.

Hanifin evened the score at 2-2 at 10:05 of the third period by sending a low-point shot past Skinner on the power play.

With 49 seconds left, Hanifin took a cross-ice pass from Barbashev in the slot and sent the puck past Skinner's glove.

With 7:56 left in the third period, Oilers defenseman Troy Stecher limped to the Oilers bench and was taken to the locker room after blocking a shot.
