Philadelphia has had the better of this game from the start, and only Tristan Jarry has kept it tied. It is 2-2 with 2:15 left in the 3rd (57:45 of game time played).
The Flyers have 62 shot attempts to Edmonton's 44, and 31 shots on goal to 21. They also lead in high-danger chances, 20-11. Jarry has stopped 29 of 31 shots, including 9 of 10 high-danger chances. Expected goals, which is how many goals the chances were worth, favour Philadelphia 3.24 to 2.1.
The Oilers took the lead through Zach Hyman, who scored twice in the 2nd, the second one on the power play. Tyson Foerster answered on a power play late in the period. Then Travis Sanheim tied it at 5v5 at 11:42 of the 3rd, with assists to Rasmus Ristolainen and Matvei Michkov.
Dan Vladar has made 19 saves on 21 shots for the Flyers, so the goalies have both been busy. The difference is that Jarry has faced far more danger.
