Game three featured a dominate performance from the Oilers, including huge contributions from Evander Kane, Leon Draisaitl and Stuart Skinner. The biggest concern for the Oilers heading into tonight would be that they don't allow the Kings to gain any sort of control on the game.
Tonight is a must-win game for the Oilers - in order to ensure a stranglehold on the Kings and force them to play Oilers style hockey when they go back to Rogers Place for Wednesday's Game five.
The Kings have revealed who will be starting in net for the team - and it's not Cam Talbot. David Rittich will get his first start of the playoffs tonight.
So far this series Talbot has allowed 16 goals against in three games - with only one win to show for it. He has a putrid 5.30 goals against average (GAA) to go along with a .861 save percentage (SV%) in the playoffs.
The last time Rittich started was back on April 13th against the Anaheim Ducks. Rittch had a very solid regular season - he had a 13-6-3 record to go along with a 2.15 GAA and a .921 SV%.
