Last night, the second round came to a close.
Match number seven between the two Canadian teams, the Oilers and the Canucks, took place.
In the end, it was Edmonton who ran away with the victory. 3-2, the final score.
What a battle between these two Canadian teams.

It was a heated battle between two division rivals (six of the seven games in the series ended in a goal), but the Oilers were more opportunistic. Vancouver finished the series 0 for 13 on the power play, and earlier in the final game, the team didn’t even get a shot on goal during a four-minute power play.
All three of the visitors’ goals came in the second period. Cody Ceci broke the ice with a lead.
CODY CECI! 
The @EdmontonOilers get the first goal of #Game7! #StanleyCup

Trailing by three goals, the club scored twice.

However, it was too little too late.
Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard were relieved.
