Oilers Secure Game 3 Win Against Kings, Cut Series Lead to 2-1

The Edmonton Oilers mounted a dramatic third-period comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Kings 7-4 in Game 3, narrowing the Kings' series lead to 2-1. Led by Evan Bouchard's two power-play goals—including the game-winner scored just 10 seconds after Evander Kane's game-tying tally—the Oilers seized momentum late in the game. Kane's crucial goal was upheld after a review for both a potential kicking motion and goaltender interference, resulting in a Kings penalty for a failed challenge. Connor McDavid contributed a three-point performance, and the Oilers capitalized on their power play opportunities, which proved decisive. The high-scoring series has now seen 30 goals in three games, with Edmonton hoping to continue their offensive surge in the next matchup. The Kings, despite strong individual performances, were unable to hold their lead, setting the stage for a closely contested series.
