The Canucks picked up their first win on the road this season with a 3-2 thriller. The first period ended scoreless as both teams were on the defensive rather then the offensive. Ryan Malone open the scoring just after the halfway point of the second his first of the season and two on the night. Chris Phillips would later make it 2-0 with a blast from the point that beat a screened Pascal Leclaire. Ivan Majesky would bring the Oilers close at 2-1 with a shot that managed to find its way home.
In the third Ryan Malone found a loose puck at the side of the net and hammered it home to bring the Canucks up 3-1. However, Sami Salo with an absolutely rocket from the point beat Vesa Toskala to bring it to 3-2. With the goalie pulled the Oilers were looking for the tie however Vesa would shut the door and the Canucks would squeek out the win.
