The Edmonton Oilers were sitting pretty after two periods in game one of round one versus the Los Angeles Kings. Leon Draisaitl got the scoring going in the first period with a quick one-timer by Joonas Korpisalo, which was later followed up by an Evan Bouchard goal on the powerplay. The Oilers dominated the first period making it seem like the Kings had no chance in the game. However, LA found a way to claw back into the game, and with 16 seconds left, Anze Kopitar tied the game at three. Alex Iafallo put the final dagger in the coffin by scoring the overtime winner on the powerplay.
