Here\u2019s a recent NHL story via the Associated Press:<\/p>\n

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) \u2014 Leon Draisaitl scored on a power play at 18:18 of overtime and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 on Sunday night in Game 4 to tie the first-round playoff series.<\/p>\n

After assisting on Edmonton\u2019s first three goals, Draisaitl beat goalie Darcy Kuemper after the puck found him on the right side off a scramble. The Oilers got the power play when defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov tripped Connor McDavid.<\/p>\n

Edmonton defenseman Evan Bouchard tied it with 29 seconds left and goalie Calvin Pickard off for an extra attacker, beating Kuemper with a straightaway slap shot from near the blue line.<\/p>\n

Bouchard had his second straight two-goal game, also pulling the Oilers within one at 7:51 of the third with a shot that deflected in off Kings defenseman Drew Doughty\u2019s skate. Bouchard had the go-ahead goal Friday night in Edmonton\u2019s 7-4 home victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s our identity in here. We\u2019ve built that years ago. It\u2019s a mentality that we have, that we\u2019re never going to quit, no matter what,\u201d Draisaitl said. \u201cWe\u2019ve shown that in the series so far, maybe a little bit too much. We\u2019ve got to find a way to play with a lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shows a lot of character, and we can be really proud of that. But you don\u2019t want to do that every night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game 5 is Tuesday night in Los Angeles. The Kings haven\u2019t won a playoff series since beating the New York Rangers in 2014 to win the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we skated a lot better tonight than we did in Game 3 and had plenty of opportunities to put it away. And did not,\u201d Kings coach Jim Hiller said. \u201cSo, here we are. We go home 2-2 instead. They get a power play in overtime, those are tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corey Perry also scored for Edmonton, and Pickard stopped 38 shots.<\/p>\n

Trevor Moore, Warren Foegele and Kevin Fiala scored for the Kings, and Kuemper made 44 saves \u2014 17 in overtime.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course it\u2019s painful, but that\u2019s playoffs though,\u201d Kings forward Phillip Danault said. \u201cIt\u2019s 2-2, it\u2019s back to even. Now we go back home and play hard, put our heart on the line and anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiala made it 3-1 on a breakaway at 7:32 of the second.<\/p>\n

Moore opened the scoring with 9:25 left in the first. He foiled a hard-around along the right boards, got the puck back from Danault, skated toward the goal and beat Pickard with a wrist shot.<\/p>\n

Foegele gave Los Angeles a 2-0 lead on determined rush at 1:31 of the second period. Perry got one back for Edmonton on a power play at 4:11, batting the puck out of the air just below the crossbar and swatting it in as it fell.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to have a better start,\u201d said McDavid, who had two assists. I don\u2019t want to have to keep digging ourselves out of two, three, four-goal leads. But it is good that we\u2019ve shown them that we can. We\u2019re a tough group to close out in games. We\u2019ve got some good players that make plays coming down the stretch.”<\/p>\n
