Mattias Janmark's third-period goal secured the win, marking the Oilers' third consecutive come-from-behind victory, a first in franchise history. Despite a strong start by the Oilers, Kings goalie Darcy Kuemper made significant saves, but the game turned pivotal as they allowed critical goals in late-game situations. Evander Kane scored for Edmonton, while Andrei Kuzmenko netted the Kings' goal, maintaining the intensity of the series as both teams vie for playoff advancement.
Evander Kane had Edmonton's first goal while the lone Kings' score came from Andrei Kuzmenko, both in the second period.
Janmark's goal marked the fourth time in five games the Kings have given up a game-tying or go-ahead score in the final 13 minutes of regulation.
