GAME HIGHLIGHTS ARE PRESENTED BY BETWAY


It didn’t take long for the Oilers to open the scoring. Just over one minute into the game, Connor McDavid redirected a fake-shot-pass by Evan Bouchard from the point past Joonas Korpisalo…
The Kings rebounded a few minutes later to tie the score at 1-1. Vincent Desharnais fumbled a puck in transition, the Kings were able to set up in Edmonton’s zone, and Sean Durzi ripped a shot from the point through a screened Stuart Skinner…
