NHL Highlights | Canadiens vs. Oilers | October 23, 2025

That was a 3-2 decision over Ottawa on Tuesday. 
The Canadians on the second of a backto- back and we’re underway with Montreal having beaten 
Calgary in overtime. Hulking frame. He and Nurse come together. Jake Evans sets up a man. Rich 
shot off the outside of the post. That was a good chance for Gary. He’s missed 188. And it’s 
frustrating. You know, we’ve talked to him in years past and it’s frustrating for him. He wants 
to dig in. Wants to have a full season. Hudson the shot. Ricochet. Score. Alex New Hook on the 
rebound. And Montreal takes a one- nothing lead as again Hudson’s able to funnel one through. 
And New Hook pounds it home for his second of the year. The lion share in the offensive zone. 
This is just off a chip and charge. Get into the zone and it’s the second man attack. Comes up with 
a puck. Good scramble here. That puck is up for grabs two different times and it just followed the 
bouncing pucks, but the sticks have been a little bit quicker for Montreal. And credit New Hook, 
he’s the one that initially separates man from puck. Eventually, that little shimmy shake there 
by Hudson. Gets that shot through. And it’s New Hook on the doorstep. Look at this off the pad. 
Jam and hold for New Hook. Got caught between shot and pass and it rolled off a stick. I think he 
wanted to pass it. I think he was just waiting for an opportunity. He played well in the twoon-one 
and just rolled off with his stick. Walman to Phillp. He’ll wind it around. Picked up by Vasili 
Poulson. Ross Sever and a drive. Redirects it home. It’s Philp in front. But I think this goal 
is going to belong to David Tamasa. Barry his first in the National Hockey League. And again, he 
gets this puck and he’s thinking shot. And it does go off the skate of New Hook in front. It looks 
like right off the tall finds the back of the net, but that’s why you shoot a puck was up on edge. 
Get it to the net. He knows he has Emerson back door, but he gets a bounce. I agree. Howard 
to Eol across Wman shot redirects it in. Adam Henrik with a high slot deflection for 
a 2-1 Edmonton lead right on Q Luke off the cycle. We’ve talked about this at length. Go to 
work. Come up with pucks. Keep the pressure on. And this is just a perfectly tipped puck by 
Adam Henrique. Keeps his stick down enough. Watch this. Presents the target. When you see a 
Ford looking at you like that and he says, “Yeah, I want it.” And he’s got the inside track on Noah 
Dobson and he gets a backhand redirection. Drops that puck right down through the wicket. So hard 
for a goalender to read. He thinks it’s coming up into the glove. Nope. It’s in the net. Wman 
unable to snake his way between two defenders. Nurse off to Conor McDavid. Tried to d back door. 
Was there for Nurse and then a quick second goal. Andrew Bapane with his third of the year 
and the Oilers extend to a 3-1 lead. Treat and buy your check. A little spin move 
here by Majapani. This doesn’t go right through, but good support by Mapani on Walman. Now 
it’s Darnell Nurse’s time. Get to the back of the net. He just can’t finish this pass, but 
a beauty little backhand pass through the feet right out to Mapani who then drives himself 
to the net. This is excellent movement around the offensive zone. We said they have to start 
spending more time. Kulak up to Mapani scored moments ago to make it 3-1. Anderson muscles 
it in looking for Gallagher. Lunged at it, but Kulak beat him to the spot. Gallagher’s 
finally been healthy the last couple years in front anderson scores. And Montreal’s right 
back in the game. That’s created by Gallagher’s ferocity on the for check. Josh Anderson pours it 
in and you’re going to see Darn Nurse come back to this puck. It looks like he’s okay. A little 
poke check right there by Koulak gets it to him, but a good stick by Gallagher. Turns this puck 
over. Picker the save off the rush. Evans stripped from behind by Seavoy but followed up by Cawfield. 
And here’s Dobson looking for Cfield and scores. tie game. He gained some life on that goal 
by Anderson. They had been buzzing again in this second period. Edmonton pushed 
them back with some great shifts in zone, but it’s the puck retrievals. It’s the 
50/50 pucks and then spreading out a little bit. This is a dandy move by Cole 
Caulfield. I mean, known to be a shooter, but he stick handles in a phone booth here. 
What a pass right here to find a tape to tape cross seam right onto Caulfield stick and then 
one move, second move, walks around. Here’s a drop pass. A nifty one by Roselman. He comes in 
and his shot deflected up over top by his one time teammate in Nashville. Carrie and Montreal’s 
away. Cfield and Suzuki. Cfield shoots and scores. Canadians regain the lead. Unbelievable. This 
is end to end hockey track. We said early on, Edmonton doesn’t necessarily want to 
get into this type of a game with the Montreal Canadiens. They’re good at it. 
Simple as that. And Cole Cfield delays, delays, delays, and then lets go. This 
wicked release far side. He finds a new hook. Wristed down deep by Neon. Picked up by 
Kappa. Knocked off his stick. New hook to Strub in front. One-time score. New Hook’s second 
of the game. And the Canadians go up two. It’s 53 Montreal. Nice little play back down 
deep. Keep it on the perimeter. Kappa is the one actually that comes up with that puck. 
I thought Demi Dog made a little tip on it, but beautiful backhand pass by him as he threads 
this one through and New Hook. It’s the movement once again on the cycle. So hard to pick up, but 
he doesn’t get picked up into the slot. I mean, that’s right between the hash marks. Here’s Disr 
Bard belted wide. Can a perfect eight for eight in Alberta on the PK thus far. Nan Hopkins. 
Vick David in front. Score. Tricle cuts it to 54. Power play goal. Edmonton right back in the 
game. Scor critical time in the game and they go to work. Did not give up possession to this 
puck since the face off and eventually it’s McDavid takes this puck around the net. That’s a 
beautiful unsportsmanlike conduct as the call. So I’ll take back what I said. I think I was right 
though. It wasn’t that. Yeah. I figured it had to be something else. Here’s McD here. Score tie 
game. Ein Hopkins the equalizer. It’s five five and again just the confidence starting to 
grow and this is what happens when you give a team like Evansson power plays they’re 
going to eventually start to capitalize and that’s exactly back to nerve shot 
dropped at the feet of Mont just by now Samo Bman in front back here. Score P but Coulson 
65 Edmonton Coleman was first of the season. Great work by Seavoy. Puck possession making 
plays in tight spaces. Moving around. We’ve seen so much from both teams of this in this 
game. And what a power move by Pod Co. And I mean he’s right up against Mat here on the 
edge of the blue paint. Walnut keeps this alive. Quick passing. Bam. Upstairs up over 
top of the glove. That’s got to feel good for Pat Coulson. Talk about shelfing it. 
Strong on the puck. Box out. Barry. The net is empty. The game is dishes. The 
game is over. And won it six to five.
