Trevor Moore scored a power-play goal 3:24 into overtime and Los Angeles defeated the Oilers 3-2 to take a 2-1 series although the Kings were outshot 40-31. Stuart Skinner had 28 saves for Edmonton, which will need to get more physical if it wants to tie the series, but the Oilers have won five of six after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game and they still have won seven of their past eight road games. Also, the Oilers are 19-7 playing with one day of rest and they are a prohibitive favorite in this game even after Friday's loss. Edmonton has won 15 of its past 18 games overall and it has had plenty of scoring chances this series and the Kings have had the lead for only eight minutes and 15 seconds. Look for Edmonton to break through in this one and play the Oilers as a Max Play.
