Game review

The oilers feed the family as early as possible and complete each check. They are confident and aggressive, which leads them to open the series for the first time. Connor McDavid was in the deep hockey, Zach Hyman supported him with a low post, and Hyman’s pass found Ryan Nugent-Hopkins wide open in the slot. His shot beat goalkeeper Darcy Kuemper until the first stage. Edmonton then led 2-0 in the power play. Just three seconds after entering the man’s advantage, Leon Draisaitl won the confrontation with Evan Bouchard, who walked in and hit the King’s cyberman.

The Kings entered the board with less than three minutes left in 4-0. Adrian Kempe walked in and tore upstairs on goalkeeper Calvin Pickard’s gloves to continue his dominance. So we led the home team 11-10 with a 2-1 lead.

It was an inch match, when Bouchard hit the bar with his wife, and then a few minutes later, Kings tied the match to the power match as Kevin Fiala knocked a sniper down Pickard’s glove. The Kings then led by another powerful mark. Drew Doughty threw the puck online and found a way to screen ahead.

Edmonton tied with Connor Brown with less than three minutes left. Evander Kane threw the puck into the net, and Brown won a fight in front and drove the puck past Kuemper. But the king replied nine seconds later. Trevor Moore entered the position and broke the puck through five holes with one hand to restore their one-goal lead. So the Kings entered the final frame with a 4-3 lead, with Edmonton having a 23-20 shot advantage.

The Oilers tied for the game with less than seven minutes left. Evander Kane kicked the puck but then hit it with a stick, crossing the huge goalkeeper in the scramble in front. The Kings challenged the game for goalkeeper intervention, but the goal continued, giving Edmonton a man advantage. This challenge proved to be expensive, as it took oilers only 10 seconds to lead the electricity. Draisaitl found Bouchard, who redirected the puck into the cage for the second game. McDavid and Brown then knocked the game out with two empty grids to beat the 7-4 victory.

Pickard stopped 25 shots in the win with a savings percentage (SV%), while Kuemper stopped 29 times with a score of 0.853 SV% in the defeat. Game 4 of the series is on Sunday evening (April 27) at 7:30 pm at 6:30 pm in Edmonton at 6:30 pm.
