The Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings played a tight-checking series at even strength. “That was a difference in this series,” Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said. Leon Draisaitl scored twice, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 in Game 5 on Wednesday night to win their first-round NHL playoff series. The Oilers power play went 1 for 5 on the night but scored twice just after time had expired on a penalty.
