Edmonton Oilers Extend Franchise-Record Winning Streak, Leading Series Against Kings 3-1

Grade A Shots Prove Pivotal in Oilers' Victory

Oilers clinch crucial 3-1 series lead with a hard-fought win against the Kings.

The Edmonton Oilers secured a crucial 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Kings, extending their franchise-record winning streak to four games. Despite being outshot 21-10 after 40 minutes, the Oilers were able to capitalize on their Grade A shots, which have a success rate of 25%.

Connor McDavid led the charge for the Oilers with two goals and an assist, while Leon Draisaitl chipped in four points. Kailer Yamamoto and Zach Hyman also scored for Edmonton. The Kings' goals were scored by Adrian Kempe and Arthur Kaliyev.

The Oilers' victory was particularly impressive considering their struggles in previous games where they had failed to protect their leads. This time, they were able to hold on to their advantage and extend their winning streak, putting them one step closer to advancing to the second round.

The Oilers now have a chance to eliminate the Kings in Game 5, which will be played in Los Angeles. A victory would be a major statement for the Oilers, who have not won a playoff series since 2017.
