THIRD PERIOD
0.0: THE OILERS PULL THROUGH! SECOND ROUND HERE WE COME! Edmonton sees out their first-round series against the Kings with a 4-3 victory in Game 5 at Rogers Place, winning the series four games to one and bouncing Los Angeles from the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the third straight year. Leon Draisaitl has two goals as the First Star, Evan Bouchard has two helpers for the Second Star, and so does McDavid - who gets the Third Star with two assists. Nugent-Hopkins also contributes two assists and Skinner gets the win with 19 stops.
Edmonton will play either Vancouver or Nashville in Round 2.
19.7: DRAISAITL IS HOOKED! The German gets away with the net empty and Danault has to take him down. Edmonton goes to the power play less than 20 seconds away from advancing to the Second Round!
2:18: Kempe's deflection finds its way through. There's still time for the Kings to mount a comeback. 4-3.
4:00: FOUR MINUTES TO GO! Skinner & the Oilers turn away a rugby-like scrum in front of their own net and clear the puck through McDavid. They're putting in the defensive work necessary right now to get this job done.
12:21: Edmonton has this game slowed down to the perfect pace as they prioritize dump-ins and possession while keeping the Kings' contained when in their own zone.
20:00: The third period is underway! The opportunity to close out this series is coming up in the third period with the Oilers leading 4-2 with 20 hard miles to go.
SECOND PERIOD
52.9: ANOTHER POWER PLAY EXPIRES, BUT IT'S DEFLECTED HOME BY HYMAN! Doughty comes out of the box, but Bouchard's point shot hits the post and dances on the goal line before being put away by the winger in the blue paint. 4-2 Oilers.
