Connor McDavid dished out three assists, Vasily Podkolzin buried the go-ahead goal with just over a minute remaining, and the Edmonton Oilers completed the comeback to the tune of a 6-5 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

OMFG…Nurse and Bouchard….wtf….you know you are defensemen right?
Put aside the bad reffing (that penalty on Slaf LOL) and another awful performance by Sam (I was defending him after the first 2 goals as I thought it wasn't his fault but I can't defend him for the other 4) I'm really happy with the Habs performance.
We totally dominated them 5v5. The Oilers had absolutely nothing on us. I would feel very comfortable playing them in the playoffs as I truly don't think they're a better team. They got the help they needed and that's about it. Bouchard was horrible tonight and I would take Dobes over him any day of the week.
Anyway, on to the next one! I'm really happy about our performance overall beside a few players (Dach, Monty, etc..) and we shouldn't let that affect our confidence.
They won on the scoreboard but they didn't beat us and that's good enough for me.
Bro the refs didn’t want the youngest team to win it.
Demidoging it in the game tonight.
Such good words from St-Louis after the game.
"They won the game but they didn't beat us"
I think that reflect this game perfectly
Its a oilers win cry about it lol……like oilers never get bad calls etc
I like so much such type of matches 👏
Edmonton struggle against the youngest team in nhl and win because of emotional refs that’s crazy 😂
Habs over rated. Terrible goaltending. 6 goals on 27 shots. Montembeault can't stop a beach ball when it counts.
Lotta salty french girls in this comment section
Too bad we won't play the cats for game 7
Oiler fan here – watching the highlights only – Edmonton lucky to get points there – too many sloppy errors and the goaltending atrocious. The win has masked glaring issues which need to get addressed. I see the comments below – think Edmonton need to reflect, not wallow in victory.
Comments section: crying Montreal fans as usual. Wa wa wa
im here to watch how many of people will trash ref and monty ….
Monty is as leaky as Price
The refs were outstanding tonight, give it a rest.
Looks like Montreal hasn't changed. They continue to whine when they lose and they always blamethe refs
worst reffing i’ve seen
There needs to be an investigation about this game, the reffs rigged it to the oilers this is not normal.
What an absolute joke
How many times has Edmonton overcome a 2, 3, 4 goal deficit in the third period?
Great game by the Edmonton Referees
ai refs plz
AND THE FIRST STARS GOES TOOO……..BLIND ZEBRASSSS COME SIGN THE LENS BAD BOY
Nurse and Bouchard I swear man.
Replace refs with AIs ffs, like just obliterate them. It's so shameless!
Montenbault's .842 save % didn't get any better tonight.
Delusional oilers fans that cant admit that ref was one-sided 😂
Did they show what anderson did to get the unsportsmanlike? Feels like that is never called….he must have done something really bad….
Zebras 6 Canadiens 5
As much as I respect McDavid's talent, faking a tripping call twice in a single shift is totally worthy of the ''McPrincess'' nickname. Won't even talk about that Slaf's boarding call. Refs should also be called and downgraded in minor leagues when making poor decisions and not being able to get us a good and fair hockey game. Just like players are demoted everytime they don't reach expectations.
Questionable reffing which cost the Habs the win. Montembault is still not a clutch, playoff goaltender and needs to relinquish starting netminder to Dobeš who has the better skills to advance. The Habs respond better when Duboš is in net.
I heard that the refs will start wearing Oilers jersey when officiating in that barn from now on
Blaming refs is a weak cop out. There was missed calls all game both sides. The only problem the couple of bad and missed calls ended the game. Montreal is looking awesome and I love to see it. I’m from Toronto and I hate the leafs so this is great to see the Canadians developing and progressing well. I do think the need a better starting goalie
Well it was entertaining!
what teams and fans in any league has never thought they got screwed by the officiating, that's just the reality about being a fan, you get to cheer and fist pump when you get the W or boo and make excuses about getting the L, it's only 1 game of 82, things pretty much even out in the end
If the Habs started out 2 and 6 instead of 6 and 2, nobody would be crying about the refs. Give it up babies.
Go Refs Go!!
Solid win, Oilers are here.
curious one here
Was a intense game forsure back & forth, but i gotta admit as an oilers fan that atleast 2 of those penalties were weak af, but it is what it is 🤷♂️
How is Bouchard slashing someone after a goal not also an unsportsmanlike penalty?
That made no sense to me.
Brendan Gallagher needs some help. He needs a baby soother with his crying towel.
AND THE EDMONTON REFS WON THIER 1ST GAME OF THE SEASON THEREFORE LANDING 2 POINTS
