The Edmonton Oilers are gaining momentum in their playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings, having secured a critical 4-3 overtime victory in Game 4. This win evens the series at two games apiece, providing the Oilers an opportunity to enhance team chemistry as they head back to Los Angeles for Game 5. Players like Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman are returning from injuries, and their performance is crucial as they aim to build cohesion within the lineup.

Leon Draisaitl, who was sidelined for most of the regular season, commented on the benefit of extending the series for the team's collective confidence and performance. Despite missing key defenceman Mattias Ekholm, who remains out with injury, the Oilers capitalized on their special teams, scoring two power-play goals and holding the Kings scoreless on their opportunities. With Calvin Pickard in goal and a growing roster of healthy players, the Oilers believe they can secure an away win in Los Angeles.
