Series wrap-up: Oilers return to Los Angeles on level terms

On this action-packed Sunday in the NHL, four series continued.

I’ve already summarized the Jets game and the Habs game.

Here are the other results and highlights:

Oilers return to Los Angeles tied

The Kings have won the first two games of this series.

And after an Oilers win, they could return home ahead 3-1. But Evan Bouchard had other plans.

He scored two goals in the third period to force overtime.

Leon Draisaitl factored on his second goal of the game and cut the @EdmontonOilers‘ deficit to one. His 21st career multi-assist playoff games tied Jari Kurri and Glenn Anderson for the fourth most in franchise history. #StanleyCup

He scored the tying goal at the very end of the game.

And in overtime, Leon Draisaitl chose the right moment to score his first goal of the 2025 series. He picked up an assist on his team’s first three goals.

The series is tied 2-2!

In fact, all the Western series are.

Los Angeles and Edmonton return to action in California tomorrow.

Frederik Andersen leaves the game

This is definitely not the series for number-one goaltenders. Connor Hellebuyck is not having a good series, and Logan Thompson and Samuel Montembeault went down fighting in game three of their series.

Now it’s Frederik Andersen’s turn to leave the game. Yesterday against New Jersey, the Dane was injured after a collision with Timo Meier.

The goalkeeper will be re-evaluated today.

Moments later, Meier took advantage to cut the deficit to one goal on goalie number two Pyotr Kochetkov.

New Jersey was unable to stop Andrei Svechnikov, however.

The Russian scored a hat trick.

5-2 win for the Canes.

They could eliminate the Devils at home on Tuesday.

Carolina leads the series 3-1.

Overtime

– What a shot!
