The Vancouver Canucks were the better team from start to finish in Game 5 but it took a last-minute goal by J.T. Miller to give them the win.

Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet made wholesale changes to his forward lines heading into Thursday night's Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers. Only J.T. Miller's top line with Brock Boeser and Pius Suter remained the same.

Lindholm nearly responded, as a Pettersson shot deflected off his body and got in behind Calvin Pickard. Lindholm slid the puck toward the net but Vincent Desharnais cleared it off the goal line. The Canucks took over the game in the second period, out-shooting the Oilers 17-to-4 in the middle frame. Only one of those shots hit the back of the net, however, and it was the fourth line again stepping up.

While fans voiced their displeasure with the call, it ultimately had little impact on the game, as the Canucks' penalty kill was dialed in, limiting the Oilers' dynamite power play to a handful of shots.
