Edmonton moved back in front 5-4 at 5:53 when Savoie slapped in a loose puck from in close while on a power play.
Savoie was recalled from Bakersfield of the American Hockey League on Wednesday.
“That’s one of his strongest games this year,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. “Penalty kill, he scores on the power play, 5-on-5 he’s creating a lot of chances, so there were a lot of good performances by guys.”
The Ducks came back and tied it 5-5 at 6:39 when Beckett Sennecke scored from the inside edge of the right circle off the rush, ending the night for Jarry.
“Obviously, I wasn’t happy with the goals we gave up, especially in the third period,” Knoblauch said. “I didn’t like those, and there were other mistakes there, but part of it is you need better goaltending and tonight wasn’t one of his best games.”
