In a thrilling contest, the Edmonton Oilers dominated the Los Angeles Kings with a 7-4 victory, narrowing the Kings’ series lead to 2-1. The turning point came late in the third period when Evander Kane and Evan Bouchard scored within a mere ten seconds, flipping the game in favor of the Oilers. Kane's goal, initially contested for goalie interference, was upheld after a review, leading to a power play from which Bouchard capitalized with a slick assist from Leon Draisaitl.

Connor Brown also shone with two goals, alongside contributions from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid. Calvin Pickard, in goal for the Oilers, made 25 saves, stepping in for Stuart Skinner, who started the previous games. The Kings had a strong showing as well, with goals from Adrian Kempe, Kevin Fiala, Drew Doughty, and Trevor Moore, but ultimately fell short against an energized Oilers squad. The series continues with Game 4 in Edmonton, where the Oilers aim to tie things up.
