The emergency occurred just minutes into the contest, as Sportsnet's Louie DeBrusk reported a fan had collapsed on the stairs behind Edmonton's bench, requiring immediate medical attention.

Darnell Nurse had two assists, and Calvin Pickard made 26 saves for the Oilers (42-26-5), who ended a two-game losing skid. Edmonton is tied for second place in the Pacific Division with the Los Angeles Kings, who have one game in hand

The Oilers tied the score 2-2 with 3:12 remaining in the third period as Evan Bouchard sent it to Draisaitl and he cut in from the wing and sent his 50th goal of the season stick-side past Wolf. It gave Draisaitl his fourth 50-goal season, tying Jari Kurri for second-most in Edmonton franchise history, behind Wayne Gretzky’s eight.
