Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks were able to bounce back from consecutive home losses to Edmonton. Anaheim has with their own rainmaker Ryan Getzlaf, 31, who can smack a one-timer past any goalie in the league.
The Ducks took a 1-0 lead on Getzlaf's fourth goal of the playoffs on the power play at 37 seconds of the second period.
Anaheim gradually turned the period in its favor, but couldn't score. But, that once strong component of their game took a beating against the Calgary Flames in the first round. In eight starts, he's posted an impressive 6-2 record, registering a 2.02 goals against average and.934 save percentage.
As the most penalized team in the National Hockey League during the regular season, the Ducks have had a lot of practice killing penalties. Any momentum the Oilers might have gained in taking a 2-1 series lead appeared lost.
They'll also have to shift some of that focus onto Leon Draisaitl who stung the Ducks for four points in Wednesday's win. With all these injuries to defencemen, it will be even more vital for the Ducks to stay out of the box. Despite firing on all cylinders, the Ducks could not find a way to score the tying goal. Four of the team's top five scorers during the regular season entered the playoffs without a lick of playoff ice time.
They outshot and outhit the Oilers substantially in both games, and were far better at face-offs. But it's hard to deny that the Ducks took something from Anaheim with them on that charter flight. He posted consecutive shutouts in the first round against San Jose and almost picked up another versus the Ducks. Someone will have to step up though and the person most people are looking at is Corey Perry.
Like the Ducks, San Jose, the defending conference champion, was billed as superior to the young Oilers by way of their playoff experience.
The Oilers also have to match the Ducks' intensity.

Anaheim's Jakob Silfverberg said he felt his team made it too easy for Talbot in their last game.
And yes, McDavid and the Oilers are well aware of Anaheim's designs. Hampus Lindholm finished at plus-five. We've got to make sure that we've got more bodies in front of the net. Mark Letestu narrowly beat Getzlaf 50.4% to 50.3%.
"The thing is wherever I'm at, I'm just going to be locked in on that situation and knowing my role on that specific team", Kerdiles said. After that, they played like a team that expected so much better than this.
McDavid, on the other hand, has only one point through two games, but he's not anxious about his individual performances. The Ducks were 1/4 on the power play. The Ducks are listed with a money line of +110 to prevail tonight, while the over/under total is set at 5 goals.
Draisaitl's empty-net goal at 18:55 of the third period sealed the victory.
We've entered the third season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1. The other way, Edmonton's PK vs the Ducks PP are two middle of the road propositions, so unless Corey Perry gets shocked with an electric cattle prod, there is little to no advantage for either side. Fowler, seeing that Lucic now has the puck despite the fact that he is being harassed by Perry, who has never been known for his defensive prowess, heads over to them.
The second-round series between the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks finally got chippy on Sunday, but one player might've crossed a big line. They'll need to sort out their poor penalty killing.
