Draisaitl achieved in Ot, Oilers comeback against kings in game 4

Draisaitl, who also had three templates, achieved his first Stanley Cup Playoff overtime destination with a rebound from the bottom of the right circle after Evan Bouchard, who scored twice in the third period, bound 29 seconds in third place.

“This is our identity here, we built it up years ago. It is a mentality that we have that we will never stop, no matter what happens,” said Draisaitl. “So far we have shown this in the series, maybe a little too much. We have to find a way to play with a lead.

“It shows a lot of character and we can be really proud of it, but they don't want that every night.”

The best-of-7 series is bound 2-2. Game 5 is located in Los Angeles (10 p.m. et, FDSNW, Max, TBS, TVAS2, SN, CBC) on Tuesday.

“When we know that things change and understand that things are changing, we could have easily walked out and sent them to LA and tried to dig outside,” said Oilers captain Connor McDavid, who had the overtime penalty for Vladislav Gavrikov. “But I thought everyone just dug up. I am sure that there are many people who still have doubts, but we like it that way.

“Many people count, but we are fighting to beat a good team. They are a great team, they are really and we are fighting.”
