However, the Kings regained the advantage a couple minutes later on a power play of their own as Pearson was able to pick up a puck on the doorstep and slide it past Talbot for his first of the season at 16:34.

Down by a goal, Edmonton Oilers mounted a last-minute assault on the Los Angeles Kings that came within inches of sending the game to overtime. “I thought it could have gone in”.
I will now apply logical deduction (unavailable to video review) to support why many of us believe McDavid scored the game tying-goal on this play.
The goal went under review and was shown on LA FOX Sports from two different angles: above the net and behind the net.
“They’ve put me with this role and it’s good to know that they have confidence in me to handle it”, said Gryba. Do you agree with me, and if so, why didn’t “upstairs” get it right?
Just over a minute later, Carter banked in a shot off Talbot from behind the goal line.
The Oilers rank tied for 22nd in the league, allowing 3.00 goals against so far this season, while the Kings sit eighth with an average of 2.14 goals against per game. The ref signaled it was a goal, but when he saw Jonathan Quick’s glove covering the puck, he quickly changed his mind, waiving it off. We’ll never know, but regardless, Quick looked sharp again overall with 26 saves. “It just shows that he’s a world-class goaltender”.
– The Kings made a surprising swap of their first- and third-line left wingers, as Pearson moved up to skate with Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown, while Marian Gaborik dropped down with Nick Shore and Trevor Lewis. “It felt like we got a lot pucks to the net, and had guys in front of him taking away his eyes but unfortunately we couldn’t get one by him”. The Kings are 4 for 8 on the power play in their last three games.
Quick was duly impressed by the Oilers and McDavid. Not a company. They must stop tailoring to the wants of teams and rule the game fairly.
The Kings received their game winning goal from Tanner Pearson a left wing during a third period power play.
