Leon Draisaitl has two goals and an assist, Zach Hyman also scores twice and Edmonton rides three first-period goals and more dominance from its power play to a 6-1 victory. Game 4 is Sunday night.
The Edmonton Oilers’ Leon Draisaitl, bottom right, scores past Kings goaltender Cam Talbot, center, and Vladislav Gavrikov during the third period of Game 3 of their first-round playoff series on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena. The Oilers won, 6-1, and lead the best-of-seven series 2-1.
On the second, Draisaitl scored his second goal of the evening and third of the series off a kneeling one-timer from low in the right faceoff circle with 7:22 to play. The second period saw an exchange of goals, with both sequences created by players who ultimately didn’t receive so much as an assist for their efforts.
It was rookie Alex Laferriere, at the end of a very long shift, blowing up big Vincent Desharnais behind the net and keeping the puck in the Oilers’ zone to extend the play. That allowed the Kings to make a line change on the fly, with Mikey Anderson locating Quinton Byfield zooming off the bench. Byfield found an activated Doughty for a tap-in goal at the back post. After not scoring a playoff goal since 2016, Doughty has two in the past two games alone.
