THIRD PERIOD

0.0: SHUTOUT SKINNER! THE OILERS WIN GAME 4 AND ARE HEADING BACK TO EDMONTON WITH A CHANCE TO WIN THIS SERIES! 

Evan Bouchard scores the only goal the Oilers need on the power play while Skinner makes 33 saves for his first-career playoff shutout, backstopping the Oilers to a 3-1 series lead going back to Oil Country for Game 5 at Rogers Place on Wednesday.

8.4: Only seconds left to defend for the Oilers with the Kings having an offensive-zone draw to try and tie it in the dying moments.

1:21: Here we go. The Kings' net has been vacated by Rittich and Edmonton will try to defend their lead down six-on-five.

9:11: KILLED OFF! That's 11-for-11 this series for Edmonton's penalty kill, and it comes at a crucial time.

11:11: Stu makes another save at 11:11 on the clock – a big one at that – but Kulak is in the box for high-sticking Trevor Moore. An absolutely vital moment in this hockey game coming up as the Kings head to their first power play. Edmonton made their only man advantage count in the second period to score the only goal of this game.

12:59: STUUUUUU continues to stand tall with his team ahead 1-0, making double-digit saves in the third period after snatching a good shot from Arvidsson. This game would not be where it is without Skinner defending the crease for LA.

20:00: The third period is underway! CLOSE IT OUT!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Edmonton takes the lead through two periods off Bouchard's power-play goal.

7:02: Two huge stops by Skinner on Arvidsson's wraparound! Then, Nicolas Roy's follow-up shot goes dangerously through the crease and out the other side, keeping the Oilers in the lead.

8:11: BOUCHARD BLAST ON THE POWER PLAY! You just can't give this Oilers man advantage an opening. Draisaitl holds off on the cross-ice one-timer from McDavid in the right circle and instead offloads it to Bouchard at the top of the right circle to step into one and beat David Rittich clean over the right pad. Edmonton's power play improves to 8-for-15 this series as they give their team a 1-0 lead in Game 4.

9:14: POWER PLAY OILERS! The first man advantage of the night goes to Edmonton on a holding call from Andreas Englund without his stick.

9:48: Blake Lizotte is fooled not once – but twice by Stuart Skinner after Anze Kopitar dropped it to him at the blueline on a zone entry.

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: Kulak can't handle it! McDavid sets the defenceman up for a chance late in the period but he couldn't corral the captain's pass from the opposite circle. We're scoreless 0-0 through the opening 20 minutes.

4:32: Edmonton gets its best look off an intercepted pass near the boards by Evander Kane, who picked the puck off Drew Doughty to create a breakaway for Draisaitl, but the German had pressure from beside him and let go of a quick wrist shot that David Rittich stopped with his right pad.

6:16: Drew Doughty delivers a thunderous check on Zach Hyman as the Kings continue to try and impose themselves physically early. A clean and hard check in LA's zone.

7:36: Both teams came out wanting to have the best start and the Kings have come out the most physical and the most willing to get shots on goal, exemplified by their 17-8 lead in hits and 10-4 in shots. The Oilers have to weather this storm from the hosts, who are buzzing early on home ice in Game 4.

15:43: Derek Ryan gets into the action right away by setting up Dylan Holloway for a dangerous one-timer from the left circle. The 37-year-old is in the lineup in place of Sam Carrick tonight as the only change for the Oilers.

20:00: A PIVOTAL GAME 4 IS UNDERWAY! The Oilers are looking to take firm control of the series heading back to Edmonton. Let's get this game going!

20:00: The first period of Game 4 is coming up at Crypto.com Arena!
