Trevor Moore, Warren Foegele and Kevin Fiala scored for the Kings in the loss.

It looked like the Kings were inching closer to exorcising their playoff demons against the Oilers, but now it’s series on. Game on.

The Kings played nearly a perfect road game through 40 minutes, but Edmonton’s high-powered offense chipped away. Bouchard cut the Kings lead to 2-1 with just over 12 minutes left, and then he got the equalizer with the goalie pulled.

After a tough start in Game 3 that saw the Kings get punched in the mouth and fall behind 2-0 early, the Kings reversed the tables and took a 1-0 lead and dominated the Oilers in all facets outshooting Edmonton 14-6, and if it weren’t for Calvin Pickard coming up with a couple of big stops, the Kings lead could’ve been bigger.

Moore would give the Kings a 1-0 lead midway through the opening frame when Phil Danault won a board battle, and chipped the puck out to Moore who wasted no time ripping a snap shot through the five-hole.

After getting outplayed badly by the Kings, Edmonton came out with some juice in the second period and almost tied the game at 1-1 when former King Viktor Arvidsson came out from behind the net and fed a pass to Draisaitl, who let a one-timer go, but Kuemper was able to get a piece of it.

Moments later, the Kings took a 2-0 lead when Foegele drove the net, took a pass from Phillip Danault and was able to get behind both Oilers D-men and beat Pickard with a quick move to his backhand.

Perry was able to cut the Kings in half at the 4:14 mark of the second when he scored his second of the series on the power play. The veteran winger was stopped by Kuemper on his initial shot, but he was able to bat it out of the air, and jam the puck in when it landed in the crease.

Edmonton smelled blood in the overtime session and was buzzing in the opening five minutes, really pushing the Kings on their heels.

While the Kings had some decent looks in OT, the Oilers had the momentum, and they capitalized on their second power play goal of the game late in OT with defenceman Vladislav Gavrikov in the box.

Now the Kings have to pick themselves up off the mat after two gut-wrenching losses in Edmonton and regroup and make sure they can continue their winning ways on he ice for Game 5 on Tuesday.
