It appeared shoulder to head from Pod Coulson and he’s gone to the dressing room and has not returned for the determined for a quick start to the per had some energy here to start but at the other end it’s De Bruski and into the glove of Pickard trying to track it down knocked ahead and then trying to get that last bit in front of Bousard.

Then a bomb that goes off the post crossbar area and then Heronic. Hughes. Heronic fakes the shot. Quinn Hughes top of the circle. Heronic with a blast and moving to his right was Picker to make the save. The Oilers bounce the puck down the ice.

Besser shoots. Picker the save to Brussle. [Applause] Here’s a bullet from Besser and then the rebound. Houston Conucks with the equalizing goal on a power play here in the third. Garland good job to keep that one in. Cuts in. Good backhander stopped by Pickers by Deco after Connor Garland kept that one in. Made his way to the front, but his backhander was stopped by Count. And that draws a reaction from the Vancouver bench as Tyler Meyers fearlessly blocked that shot. McDavid one last dash. They’re going to run out of time as Demco gloves that one to take the draw against Leon Dryidle and Patterson wins it. Heronic has the puck and Hughes full 360 at center. Now Garland who had two overtime goals last year moves it. He had a couple. De Brusk had a couple for Vancouver. Heronic back to Garland cutting in on goal. scores. Conor Garland saw the chance and he took it. And a deep to the forehand gives the Conucks a 3-2 win 90 seconds into overtime. Overtime and then Garland is going to give it, get open, and go right down Broadway. Drive across the front of the net. Picker doesn’t get that left pad out at all as Garland drops the shoulder. That short stick of his keeps it in near the feet and to the forehand to the back of the net. What a game he’s had. And the Conucks pull this one out in OT. First of the preeason for Connor Garland.
