Edmonton opened the scoring nine minutes into the first period with Puljujarvi snapping off a shot that slipped through the pads of Canucks goalie Anders Nilsson.
Shortly after the second frame started, the Oilers struck again, this time on the power play. Rattie found the puck during a battle in front of the Canucks net and poked it in past Nilsson for his first goal of the night.
He tallied his second of the night in the third period after beating Vancouver defenceman Ben Hutton to the net.
Vancouver got onto the board five minutes into the second frame when centre Bo Horvat sliced a pass to Baertschi. The left-winger spun in front of the net and took a backhanded shot between his legs, sliding the rubber in past Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot.

Elias Pettersson got credit for an assist on the play, marking his first time on an NHL scoresheet.
Anticipation about the Swedish forwardB次元官网网址檚 Vancouver debut had been growing steadily since the Canucks took him fifth overall at the 2017 NHL draft.
Pettersson spent last season taking the Swedish Hockey League by storm, notching 24 goals and 32 assists. He led the entire league in scoring.
The 19-year-old showed flashes of greatness Tuesday night, making a crisp backhanded pass in front of the Edmonton net, dekeing out the Oilers defence and firing a rocket at Talbot during a second-period power play.
