Canucks overcome 3-goal deficit to stun Oilers 5-4 in Game 1

Associated Press  

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Conor Garland broke a tie with 5:34 left and the Vancouver Canucks overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the second-round playoff series. “Maybe four or five months ago, or maybe last year, you might have seen some frustration, some laziness or when something frustrated us, we take a bad penalty,” coach Rick Tocchet said. “They’re a good team and they were doing everything they could to come back and we were doing everything we could to hold on to the lead,” said Oilers captain Connor McDavid, who was limited to an assist. You try to hold on to lead and sometimes you’re maybe a little too passive.” After getting just five shots on goal in the first period, Vancouver outshot Edmonton 19-7 in the last two periods.
