Things were all tied up at one after the first period. The Oilers opened the scoring with a sneaky tally from Evander Kane - and the Kings responded with Alex Laferriere netting his first of the playoffs. 

Then the Oilers blew up the second period - powered by Leon Draisaitl scoring his fifth and sixth goals of the playoffs. His first goal was critical, as it tied things up at two. Of course it was met with a bit of controversy.

The play was initially whistled dead. After the fact, the officials reviewed it and determined that the puck had completely crossed the line - and called it a good goal. 

Draisaitl also played an incredibly physical game. One of his best moments came when he pulled off a reverse hit on Oilers fans favorite Kings player to hate - Drew Doughty.

All in all, it was a dominate game where the Oilers came out on top.
