The Vancouver Canucks have claimed a lead in their second round playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers after a dramatic third period comeback.

The Canucks won 5-4 after a ferocious final frame where they scored three times in the last 11 minutes to secure a victory.

J.T. Miller, Nikita Zadorov, and Conor Garland scored within a five-minute period to completely flip the script on this game. The tying and game-winning goals came just 39 seconds apart.

Rogers Arena was rocking as the Canucks shocked the Oilers and pulled off this massive comeback.

The Canucks outshot the Oilers 24-16 and controlled a lot of the five-on-five play. The visitors managed just one shot in the third period as the Canucks put their stamp on the game.

The game didn’t get off to the start that the Canucks wanted. They took a too many men penalty less than a minute into the game, allowing the dominant Oilers power play onto the ice. Zach Hyman made it 1-0 for the visiting team shortly after.
