Wyatt Trumbley opened the scoring 11:27 in, driving home a high-slot chance to give the Oilers an early lead.

Jimmy Soper tied the game 2-2, finishing a net-mouth scramble 7:06 into the final period. John Schiavo restored the Mavericks’ one-goal lead, spinning a chance below the circles and through Mannella’s five hole with 6:55 remaining. Adam Pleskach forced overtime with 52 seconds on the clock, taking advantage of pandemonium in front of the net to beat a sprawling Danill Chechelev.
