Analysis:

Another wild high scoring affair for the Ducks. They were down early in the second period by one goal, but then scored four times to take a commanding 5-2 lead. The Oilers did score twice in the final minutes of the third to make this a close game as they nearly force overtime.

Mintyukov had an overall great game. He scored two goals, had an assist and a fight earning a Gordie Howe hat trick. Sennecke also scored twice and he had one assist.

The Ducks continue to score at will, but they also give up goals in bunches as well. For the second game in a row the Ducks had a three goal advantage in third period and nearly blew it.

Special teams was factor in this contest, which was a slight advantage to the Oilers. Both teams scored on the power play twice. Edmonton did get a shorthanded goal as well.

Brossoit started his third consecutive game and won. With the Ducks playing tomorrow it will be interesting to see who is net. It should be Lukas Dostal or Ville Husso.
