Down 3-1 in the third period and facing going back to Los Angeles down 3-1 in the series, the Oilers got two goals from defenseman Evan Bouchard, the tying goal coming with 29 seconds left in regulation, before Leon Draisaitl won it with 1:42 left in the first overtime.

It helps the Kings have shown scoring depth, with not just their key players making an impact. While Adrian Kempe has already netted three goals and four assists, captain Anze Kopitar has one goal and five points and Kevin Fiala has netted one goal and two assists.

With the Edmonton Oilers down 2–0 in their current series, Friday night’s game was a must-win. After holding a steady lead after the first period, things fell apart in the second.
