Moore, Kings defeat Oilers in Game 3 in OT, take Western 1st Round lead

LOS ANGELES -- Trevor Moore scored at 3:24 of overtime to give the Los Angeles Kings a 3-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Western Conference First Round at Crypto.com Arena on Friday.

Moore won it on a power play when he stuffed the puck in near the right post for his first goal of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Los Angeles has a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. Game 4 is here Sunday.
"Special teams is huge, and to get a goal like that in overtime, that's what we work for," Kings forward Alex Iafallo said.
The goal was awarded after a video review to determine if Los Angeles forward Gabriel Vilardi played the puck with a high-stick before Moore scored.
"They have that review in place for a reason, I guess they determined they couldn't tell," Edmonton captain Connor McDavid said.

Iafallo and Adrian Kempe scored, and Joonas Korpisalo made 38 saves for the Kings, the No. 3 seed in the Pacific Division.
"We knew we could play better, and we certainly did," Korpisalo said. "From the start of [overtime], I think we controlled the game and took the win."
McDavid scored twice on the power play, and Evan Bouchard had two assists for the Oilers, the No. 2 seed in the Pacific. Stuart Skinner made 28 saves.
"I think we're playing well, we're doing a lot of good things, we're definitely the better team for a lot of spurts," Edmonton forward Leon Draisaitl said. "It seems like we can't score at the right times, but we have to regroup and find a way."

Iafallo gave Los Angeles a 1-0 lead at 19:27 of the first period. Matt Roy's shot from the right point redirected off Iafallo on net, and he was able to chip the rebound past Skinner for his second goal of the series.
"I didn't really get enough wood on it, but I just saw it going to the net, so I was just hoping it was going in," Iafallo said.
It was the first lead of the series in regulation for the Kings and their first goal in the first period. The Oilers led 2-0 after the first in Games 1 and 2.
McDavid tied it 1-1 at 7:42 of the second period, scoring on the power play with a wrist shot from the left circle. He then put Edmonton ahead 2-1 at 9:22 with his second power-play goal on a wrist shot from the left circle.

Draisaitl, who had the secondary assist, received a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct after the goal.
Kempe quickly tied it 2-2 at 9:40 on the power play, scoring on a slap shot after Viktor Arvidsson's stretch pass caromed off the boards behind the net and back to the right circle.
"Obviously anytime you're in the box, you're not putting pressure on the other team," Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said. "We've liked the way we've played the game. In the end, we feel we're doing a lot of really good things that are putting hard miles on that team.
"We feel good about our game. Certainly, we can clean up some of the penalties. In the end, the score sheet would tell you we had four power plays, they had five."
Los Angeles was 2-for-5 on the power play; Edmonton was 2-for-4.
"It's breaks here and there, it's little calls here and there, and we haven't seem to be getting any of the bounces," McDavid said. "We had our looks, we had our chances, and they found a way to get a power play and they score in overtime."
NOTES: McDavid has 23 career playoff goals, passing Ryan Smyth (22) for eighth in Oilers history. … Draisaitl has 30 career points (10 goals, 20 assists) in 20 road playoff games, becoming the fourth player in NHL history to do so. Wayne Gretzky needed 13 road games to reach the mark, followed by Mario Lemieux (16) and Peter Stastny (19).
