Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl scored two goals in less than three minutes in the third period to force overtime on Tuesday but lamented the team's lack of ...

"Obviously, you never like to lose, but they give you seven games for a reason, and we need to go get one on the road and bring it back to Edmonton." That needs to be enough in a playoff game," McDavid said. The Oilers battled back from 3-1 and 4-2 deficits in the third period to tie the game at 4-4 with less five minutes remaining but were pushed to the brink of elimination when Adrian Kempe beat Oilers goaltender Mike Smith on the second shot of overtime just over one minute into the frame.

EDMONTON — Three point nights from Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid couldn't save the Oilers. Now Edmonton's season is on the line.

"We can't can't play half the game or quarter of the game short-handed. McDavid drove the net then sliced a puck into the slot where Alex Iafallo tried to sweep it away but put it instead on Draisaitl's tape. "There is still a lot to play for," Kempe said. We can enjoy it tonight and play as good as we did tonight at home on Thursday." All things that can help a team establish some momentum and get some zone time," he said. It’s just a great mentality that we have and we wanted to win another game here." "There’s some small things we can do in terms of establishing the forecheck, starting with the puck off the opening faceoff, shooting more. That needs to be enough in a playoff game," McDavid said. Zack Kassian rounded out the scoring for Edmonton and Mike Smith stopped 38-of-43 shots. "(We're) going to L.A. to win one game. We have to correct that," said Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft. Jonathan Quick made 24 saves for L.A.

Kings 5, Oilers 4 (OT) If I was a betting man, I would have bet my bottom dollar Edmonton Oilers would have been ready to go from the opening puck drop…

Deked Quick right out of his stick on his own goal, which included an amazing play to control the puck in his skates, then roof it off the backhand. But was part of the issue on 2 goals against, most notably the overtime decider in which he over-skated a puck in the neutral zone when his mates behind him desperately needed a change. Had a good chance for a shorthanded breakaway in the third but it went disastrously wrong when he high-sticked Matt Roy in the battle for possession and wound up in the box for 4 minutes. Just 1 shot on goal, a hard backhand from the low slot and his lone contribution to a Grade A chance. Took a bad penalty at the end of the second, though, then found himself on the bench for the final 15 minutes of action. His failure to force a stoppage in play on a gloveable shot while his team was actively losing its shape played a huge role on the first Kings goal. Got caved to the tune of 0-3 in goals, with some speculative positioning on the wrong side of the puck being a big part of the problem. His outside shot played a role on Kassian’s goal, and his joining the rush up ice did likewise on Draisaitl’s shorthanded tally. Was among those beaten on LA’s lone powerplay goal when he tried to block what he anticipated would be a direct shot on goal but was instead a shot-pass off to the side of the crease which an unchecked Philip Danault tipped home. But was beaten by a cross seam pass on the first Kings goal, and lost a key battle in the high slot on the third. One of the more effective Oilers in the first period when his passes set up a couple of good looks. And to be perfectly frank, the visitors were the better team on the night and deserved the win.

Last night the Los Angeles Kings were able to take a 3-2 strangle hold on the series with the Edmonton Oilers with a 5-4 win in overtime.

It appears to be a lack of want from this Oilers team in the losses this series. If not that, they need to a spark from somewhere, because the Kings aren’t going to take it easy on them. Being down by 2 twice, it was nice to see the Oilers come back and tie it up to force overtime. - The Edmonton Oilers defense couldn’t get a shot from the point through and it showed up in blocked shots. - The Oilers special teams kept them in it once again. The Edmonton Oilers came out last night and played a pretty bad game.

Another slow start led to another loss Tuesday and now Edmonton is must-win territory, down 3-2 to the Los Angeles Kings in their first-round playoff series. “ ...

Darnell Nurse has been suspended for one game by NHL Department of Player Safety for head-butting Kings forward Philip Danault during Game 5 on Tuesday.

He registered 35 points in 71 games and has added two points in the five playoff games. Edmonton now has to fight to keep its season alive without one of its top defensemen. The Oilers' comeback attempt in Game 5 fell short, as Adrian Kempe potted the overtime winner for Los Angeles less than 90 seconds into overtime.

Nurse did not receive a penalty for his actions. The rearguard led all players in ice-time on Tuesday, playing 26:23. The next closest player on the Oilers was Cody Ceci at 22:31. The ruling means Nurse will miss Game 6 on Thursday in L.A. The Oilers trail the best-of-seven series 3-2.

Darnell Nurse will miss Game 6 Thursday as the Oilers try to stave off elimination, after being suspended one game for head-butting Kings center Phillip ...

The suspension leaves Edmonton to try and force a Game 7 without its defensive stalwart. The incident between Nurse and Danault occurred late in the second period of Tuesday's Game 5. L.A. was on the power play, and Nurse was jockeying for position with Danault in front of Oilers' netminder Mike Smith. As Smith made a save, Nurse turned his body toward Danault and launched his head into the center's face.

Their shots on goal were mainly from a distance. Warren Foegele 48 feet. Tyson Barrie 57 feet. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins seven feet. Connor McDavid ...

After game three the Oilers looked like they were in control of the series. Brett Kulak would likely move up and play with Cody Ceci, as he did late in the season when Nurse was out with an injury. He, like most of the team, looked better in the third period but it is clear he is battling some sort of cold or illness. They were lifeless in the first frame. They showed life in the third period to extend the game to overtime, but then the opening shift mirrored the first period, as the Kings hemmed the Oilers in for a minute, and Brett Kulak, Duncan Keith, and Connor McDavidcouldn’t get off the ice. Adrian Kempestepped on the ice and 16 seconds into his shift he blew by Keith (72 second shift) to score his second of the game and put the Oilers in their first legitimate must-win situation of the season. If Nurse is out, then Kris Russell draws in, but I wonder if the Oilers recall another D-man and consider dressing seven. They added eight more within 28 feet before the period was over. I didn’t like Duncan Keith’s decision to just chip the puck out rather than pass it to Evander Kane on Kempe’s first goal of the game. He’s still really fast, but I got him there and their D-man as well. You could pick many adjectives to describe the Oilers’ play through two periods: horrendous, dreadful, appalling, shocking, ghastly, hideous, lousy, frightful, awful, and alarming to name a few. Keith’s decision on Kempe’s first goal was his main blunder.

It used to feel a lot easier for the Oilers to impose their will on high-stakes games. For the moment, it feels like a Herculean challenge they’re unable to rise to. McDavid and Draisaitl will be on the sidelines, when they should be shining on increasingly larger stages. And the reason they haven’t pushed past the Kings and qualified for the second round? In every game of the series, the team that scored first wound up winning. Clearly, they were a much more confident bunch than the group that cost coach Dave Tippett his job in early February.
