The Edmonton Oilers have won in these NHL playoffs with a couple of big-scoring games.
They got their latest victory when limited to 13 shots on net and with only one of those going in for a goal.
The versatile Oilers, who scored a combined 13 goals in the first two wins of their series against the Los Angeles Kings, are now back home Wednesday night with a chance to advance to the second round. Edmonton will take a fourth win in the best-of-seven series any way it can get it.
“Having in our portfolio that we can play a lot of different games is going to be huge here coming down the stretch,” Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm said. “These games, we’re not afraid of them.”
After an extra day off since that 1-0 win on Sunday night for a 3-1 series lead, the Oilers will try to eliminate the Pacific Division rival Kings in the first round for the third season in a row when they play Game 5. Los Angeles has dropped its past four playoff series since winning the Stanley Cup title 10 years ago.
