The Edmonton Oilers had a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night, in the final NHL game for Canucks forwards Henrik and Daniel Sedin.

Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl scored in regulation and had the shootout winning goal, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for the Oilers.

Vancouver’s Jussi Jokinen and Tyler Motte each scored a goal.

The Sedins announced their retirement Monday. Since then, every #Canucks game has gone to OT, including tonight. Even the Hockey Gods can’t get enough Sedins! #ThankYouSedins pic.twitter.com/wyY3UjJ7IX

Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers fans also paid tribute to the Humboldt community following the horrific bus crash on Friday night that claimed 15 lives and left 14 injured, two critically, by setting up a “Let’s go Broncos” chant.
