The Oilers once again had a rocky start to the game. It took four minutes and fifty -eight seconds before a shot hit Jonathan Quick’s net. The Kings have already thrown Mike Smith six times and risen 1-0 on a hard shot by Troy Stecher.

After 10 minutes of play, the Oilers were just one shot into the goal. After 16 minutes they had two, including one in power play.

Edmonton seemed to wake up late in the season, but failed to beat Quick. The shots after 20 minutes were 16-5 in favor of the Kings.

At the beginning of the second stage, anger flared up from the first confrontation. Evander Kane tried to follow Phillip Danault: Kane was sent off in four minutes and Trevor Moore by the Kings in two minutes.

Zack Kassian served his teammate’s penalty, came off the bench, he joined the attack and, well placed in front of the net, he completed a game from McDavid to tie the score.

That goal woke up the spectators and seemed to beat the Oilers who rose to Kings territory in the next eight minutes, until a shot by Adrian Kempe was deflected to Duncan Keith and was behind Mike Smith. .

Andreas Athanasiou gave the Kings a two-goal lead as Mike Smith folded in front of him before he could even throw. The goalie only had to lift the puck forward to score his team’s third goal.

Smith began the third season in style. Kings came before him two-to-one. He first stopped the shot from Alex Iafallo before diving to block Adrian Kempe’s shot that recovered.

The Oilers took advantage of a power play and Connor McDavid only needed three seconds to score with a backhand shot.

While Connor McDavid was in the penalty box, Ryan McLeod was given four minutes for high batting.

Los Angeles took the opportunity to regain two -goal lead. Phillip Danault deflected a shot from Adrian Kempe, but before the end of the second two minutes, Leon Draisaitl scored a shorthanded goal, it was the No. 1 spot. 29 in the playoffs.

Draisaitl did it again in less than three minutes, this time with the goal of power play. Well installed in the face-off circle to the left of Jonathan Quick, he fired a shot that gave the goalkeeper a chance to tie the game and force overtime.

Derek Ryan is back

Forward Derek Ryan is back on the Oilers roster. He collided with Andreas Athanasiou in the third game, forcing him to miss the fourth.

Instead of returning to his position with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Josh Archibald, Jay Woodcroft assigned him to the middle of the fourth line along with Zack Kassian and Warren Foegele.
