8:12: Bjugstad OFF THE CROSSBAR! A chance developed from a flip out of the Oilers zone and the centre cut inside and caught a piece of iron.

11:59: McDavid throws it back in front coming around the Kings net and Kane takes a few whacks at a loose puck before play is stopped and a scrum ensues.

17:40: KOSTIN SCORES!!! It’s a routine wrister from the left hashmarks, but it finds its way through and the Oilers jump back into the lead early in the third period thanks to the Russian’s first Stanley Cup Playoff goal! | EDM 3, LAK 2
