The most consistent effort of the series was not to be wasted as the Edmonton Oilers snagged a well-deserved, last-second Game 4 win to even things up at two games apiece.

There's no NHL team facing more pressure to finally get the job done than the Oilers. After losing to the eventual champion Golden Knights last year, Edmonton entered this season with the hockey world wondering how they would respond.

Los Angeles never learned how to avoid penalty trouble against the speedy Oilers and the result was them giving their legendary power play numerous opportunities per night.

There are just two NHL playoff games tonight, but both Western Conference matchups should offer some exciting moments.

Can the Los Angeles Kings finally figure out the Edmonton Oilers? Previewing their first-round series.
Perhaps head coach Kris Knoblauch didn’t see a blowout coming. Maybe he thought his starting goaltender wouldn’t be rattled after a solid season.

With an assist on Monday night, forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is sitting at 699 career points – one point away from 700. It’s a feat that is incredible when you think about it, but it’s also a milestone that has gotten largely overlooked with all of the hype and hubbub around the talk of Connor McDavid‘s 100-assist season.
Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is the “jack of all trades” player that every Stanley Cup contending team needs. He plays on the power play, the penalty kill, on the wing, at center and if Rogers Place ever required a Zamboni driver in a pinch, he’d likely be the first to volunteer.
In an Edmonton Oilers news and rumors update, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will slot back into the lineup as the team takes on the Minnesota Wild on Friday. He was out due to illness and the roster will be slightly reshuffled to make room for his return.
