The Edmonton Oilers did not make it easy last night, but they managed to come away from game two with the tie the series up at one.
Much like game one, the Oilers came out and dominated the first period. Derek Ryan and Leon Draisaitl each got the crowd rocking, making it 2-0 after the first period. It was not just offensively that the Oilers dominated but defensively, too, not allowing the LA Kings to have a shot until the last five minutes of the first. Edmonton had a stranglehold on the game still in the second period until Phillip Danault finally beat Stuart Skinner. Shortly after, the Oilers put themselves on the penalty kill killing their momentum. The game was tied heading into the second intermission after Gabe Vilardi scored his first of the playoffs. The third period savour for the Oilers, who scored his first of the playoffs, and Evander Kane finished it off with an empty net goal.
Tyler Yaremchuk will break everything down from game two, along with former NHLer Shawn Belle and Liam Horrobin. If you have something, you would like to contribute to the conversation, join the guys over on the Oilersnation YouTubce channel and leave your comments in the live chat.

Second Game of the series. I couldn't watch or listen to this one at all so just going from the stats sheets and the highlights. Leon has the first shot, Ryan is perfectly positioned to get the rebound. That is what a patient vet can do for you and it's one nothing just over 2 1/2 minutes in. Then we have the ONE formal PP the Oilers get the McDavid, Bouch, McDavid, Leon with the One Timer from his office. Two nothing Oilers. The boys then took a siesta during the 2nd period while LA scored to tie it up. Finally the third period and more Depth Scoring bails them out. The game winner by Kostin who is surrounded by 3 LA Kings and says WTF I'll just shoot and it goes in. I don't think Korpisalo was even thinking it was an option allowing for how the Kings had him surrounded. So what I consider a lucky goal wins us the game. Finally Kane to Draisaitl to Kane for the empty netter after Korpisalo got pulled for the extra attacker and Skinner weathered the storm. He played a lot better this game as did the Oilers in front of him from what I saw. I still think 4 penalties is 4 too many. They have to tighten it up and be disciplined. The first period Leon for slashing, yeah I didn't see it but if he did, he did. The three in the 2nd with Nuge, Leon, and Kane all taking penalties including a delay of game on Kane was, ah, challenging. Yes the Oilers PK handled it but still, don't give them freebie shots. I thought the 99 combined hits last game was a lot, this game, 112 so there will be a LOT of bruises and bumps taken. The Oilers won. Series is tied up. Now they need to win in LA. They do that and we can finish it off next week at home. Just get 3 more W's in this round boys and we're going to round two but until the job is done don't take anything for granted. Take care all.
They hold and hook all the time. Oilers were penalties but kings haven’t been saints
Klim's the BOMB !!!💪😂
I love hearing what guys like Belle and Smid have to say about the Oil, keep it coming 🙏
Desharnais +'s far outweigh his –'s !!!✌😊
Do you think it's problematic if the Kings get their leading scorer Fiala back for game 3?
