Oilers’ Stunning Comeback Pushes Kings to the Edge—Can L.A. Survive Another Heartbreaker?
Evander Kane had Edmonton’s first goal while the lone Kings’ score came from Andrei Kuzmenko, both in the second period. The Oilers’ Ryan Nugent-Hopkins closed out the scoring with an empty-net goal in final minute.
The final score wasn’t a true reflection of the game, which the Oilers dominated.
“They were stronger,” said Kings coach Jim Hiller, whose teams lost in regulation for just the seventh time in 44 home games this season, including the playoffs. “They beat us in every area except for the specialty teams. They were just better in every way … we can’t look to one part of our game and think that was acceptable.”
