However, drama followed as one social media user pointed out possible interference from an official on Edmonton's veteran player, Connor Brown, during the play leading up to the goal.
Slowing down the footage, it doesn't look good for the NHL officials. But given the speed at which Brown was moving towards the official, it's hard to see how the official could have gotten out of the way in time.
It's clear that the official impacted the play. Regardless of whether the Oilers manage to tie the series before it shifts to Edmonton for games three and four, this incident will definitely be a major talking point.
