EDMONTON, Alberta—Klim Kostin broke a tie at 2:20 of the third period and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Los Angeles Kings 4–2 on Wednesday night in Game 2 to tie the first-round Western Conference playoff series.
Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists to help Edmonton rebound from a 4–3 overtime loss in the opener. Derek Ryan and Evander Kane—into an empty net—also scored for the Oilers.
“Both games, I thought we controlled the bulk of the play,” said Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft “In both games, we had a couple of minutes we’d like to have back.”
