First Period

The opening period saw both teams locked in a defensive battle, with neither side managing to find the back of the net. The Golden Knights displayed their physicality early on, registering 50 hits throughout the game compared to Edmonton's 46. However, despite their aggressive play and maintaining possession through winning more faceoffs (26 out of 49), they couldn't capitalize on these opportunities.

Second Period

Key players like Jack Eichel and Tomas Hertl were unable to break through Edmonton's defense despite multiple attempts—Eichel alone took three shots during his time on ice but failed to convert any into goals.

Third Period

In what was expected to be an intense third period given its potential implications for both teams' playoff aspirations—the scoreboard remained unchanged as neither team could break past each other's defenses or goaltenders who performed admirably under pressure; Adin Hill made significant contributions by saving all but one shot he faced from opposing forwards such as Kasperi Kapanen who ultimately scored during overtime securing victory for his team.

Overtime

Overtime proved decisive when Kapanen found himself perfectly positioned after receiving assistance from teammates Stuart Skinner (who also earned recognition due largely thanks not only because he stopped every attempt made against him) allowing him enough space needed before firing off what would become game-winning goal sealing fate once again reminding fans why hockey remains unpredictable sport filled moments capable turning tides within seconds notice!
