Moore scores a power-play goal at 3:24 of OT to give the Kings a 3-2 win, their second sudden-death victory of the series. Game 4 is Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena.
LOS ANGELES — In what could be the evenly matched clash of the first round of the NHL playoffs, the Kings prevailed in a pivotal Game 3 against the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in overtime on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Center Connor McDavid scored a pair of power-play goals less than two minutes apart for Edmonton, the first goals of the series for the presumed NHL MVP this season. Defenseman Evan Bouchard chipped in two assists and forward Leon Draisaitl added another. Stuart Skinner made 28 saves. The Kings escaped unscathed from a third-period penalty kill that saw Korpisalo stone McDavid from the low slot to preserve a 2-2 tie. Not to be outdone, on a subsequent power play for the Kings, Skinner responded with a sequence that included robbing Kempe on a point-blank bid.
From a similar spot, he scored short side 100 seconds later, giving Edmonton its first edge of the evening and McDavid his 23rd career playoff goal. It lasted just 18 ticks of the clock, however, as Draisaitl took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty immediately after McDavid’s second goal that sent the Kings to a successful power play.
