The Oilers thought they had a go-ahead goal late in the dying seconds of the 1st period tonight, but it was immediately waived off for goalie interference.

The Oilers and Canucks exchanged goals early tonight with Dylan Holloway opening the scoring and Nils Hoglander responding under two minutes later. The rest of the 1st period went scoreless until there was less than a second left, when Bouchard thought he had broken the tie.

Unlike last night, when almost everyone universally agreed that the NHL messed up a goaltender interference call in overtime between the Stars and Avalanche, this one was a lot less controversial. Most fans agreed that the referee got the call correct, as McDavid clearly made contact with Silvos in the blue paint.
It was the right call

Luckily for the Oilers, Bouchard is having a great game regardless. He would not be denied as he found the back of the net again on a beautiful shot off the post from the point to make the game 3-1 after Zach Hyman gave the Oilers the lead. This one counted.
BOUCHARD BLAST 🚀!
