Trevor Zegras should get an Oscar nomination for that play.
EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers are running away with this game.
It's the end of the second period and the Oilers are up 5-0 against the Anaheim Ducks. With goals from Adam Henrique, Connor McDavid, Mattias Ekholm, and Warren Foegele.
It's been a fairly one sided affair in favour of the Oilers - as most would expect, given their opponents are in the running for the first overall pick in the upcoming NHL entry draft.
Ryan Nugent-HopkinsThe game is not short on theatrics, however. Primarily, between Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Trevor Zegras.
Nugent-Hopkins was called for a high sticking penalty - after Zegras threw his head back and clutched his face with his hand.

The referees fell for the acting performance for long enough to announce a penalty to Nugent-Hopkins. During the TV timeout, they rescinded the call on Nugent-Hopkins.
