After another head-spinning finish down south in Anaheim Alex DeBrincat Jersey , the Edmonton Oilers will try to settle things down when they visit the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday night.The Oilers (10-10-2) watched the Anaheim Ducks score with 16.2 seconds left in regulation to tie the score 1-1 on Friday afternoon, and the Ducks scored again 14 seconds into overtime to give them a stunning 2-1 win against Edmonton.“All we can take away is how well we did play,” said Edmonton forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who gave the Oilers a 1-0 lead midway through the third period against the Ducks.Article continues below ...It was the fourth time in the past 18 months the Ducks pulled their goalie against the Oilers in favor of an extra attacker in the final minutes and pulled off a comeback, earning valuable points in three of those games and a pivotal Game 5 win at the 2017 Western Conference Quarterfinals in the other.Three of those comebacks happened in Anaheim.The Oilers had a day off to ponder what occurred against the Ducks and get ready to finish their three-game California swing on a positive note.“We have to keep our heads up and focus on our next game (in Los Angeles),” Edmonton defenseman Oscar Klefbom said after the loss in Anaheim. “If we play a solid game and win in L.A., it’s a good road trip.”The Kings (7-14-1) fell to 2-6-0 in their past eight games with a 4-2 loss to the visiting Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. The Canucks came in riding an eight-game losing streak.The Kings and Oilers have more in common than just sitting in the bottom half of the Pacific Division standings. Each team is on their second head coach this season.Los Angeles fired John Stevens on Nov. 4 and replaced him with Willie Desjardins the same day. Desjardins is 3-6-0 since taking over behind the bench.The Oilers fired Todd McLellan on Tuesday and replaced him with Ken Hitchcock, who is 1-0-1 so far.It was Stevens who replaced Hitchcock when he was fired as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers on Oct. 22, 2006.After a stint with the Columbus Blue Jackets Cam Atkinson Jersey Kids , Hitchcock was hired to coach the St. Louis Blues. In his first season, he faced the Kings in the 2012 Western Conference Semifinals and was swept. The Kings went on to win their first Stanley Cup title, and Hitchcock won the Jack Adams Award as the top coach in the NHL.The Oilers recalled forward Jesse Puljujarvi from the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League on Saturday and he practiced with the fourth line.Puljujarvi was the fourth overall pick at the 2016 NHL Draft and the Oilers are still looking for Puljujarvi to demonstrate he was the right choice.The 6-foot-5, 210-pound right wing had eight points in 28 games as an 18-year-old rookie during the 2016-17 season. He came back with 20 points (12 goals, eight assists) in 65 games last season, but players taken directly behind him, such as No. 6 pick Matthew Tkachuk of the Calgary Flames and No. 7 pick Clayton Keller of the Arizona Coyotes, have progressed much rapidly in the NHL. PITTSBURGH (AP) Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom have spent their entire careers chasing the Pittsburgh Penguins and shouldering their own franchise’s onerous history of playoff failures.One brilliant end-to-end rush gave the two Washington Capitals teammates and their resilient club something they’ve rarely enjoyed against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions: momentum.Ovechkin knocked his own rebound out of midair and by Matt Murray with 1:07 remaining to lift the Capitals to a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night in Game 3 of their increasingly testy Eastern Conference semifinal series with Pittsburgh.Ovechkin’s initial shot smacked off the far post.The Russian star, however www.kingsproshop.com , stayed with the play and with Murray out of position, he deftly flicked it into the open net to give the Capitals a 2-1 series lead.”It’s a good thing I didn’t raise my arms up (after the first shot), you know to (celebrate) the play,” Ovechkin said after scoring his eighth goal of the playoffs. ”Got lucky.”Matt Niskanen, John Carlson and Chandler Stephenson also scored for Washington, which improved to 4-0 on the road in the postseason. Braden Holtby finished with 19 saves. Backstrom had three assists, including the helper on Ovechkin’s winner.”It’s huge, huge goal,” Ovechkin said. ”Obviously for our team Womens Josh Anderson Jersey , you know we want to win tonight and we did. It doesn’t matter what, it doesn’t matter who scored. We sacrifice. We play hard. And we have to do the same moving forward.”Game 4 is in Pittsburgh on Thursday night.Jake Guentzel had a goal and an assist for Pittsburgh. Sidney Crosby and Patric Hornqvist also scored, but the Penguins lost consecutive playoff games for only the fourth time since the start of their run to consecutive Stanley Cups began in 2016.Pittsburgh also lost forward Zach Aston-Reese to a broken jaw and a concussion following a violent collision with Washington’s Tom Wilson at the game’s midway point.Aston-Reese was stickhandling near the Washington bench when Wilson slammed into him, sending the 6-foot-4 Aston-Reese to the ice.Wilson was not penalized on the play, the second time in as many games he was not disciplined for a borderline hit.Pittsburgh defenseman Brian Dumoulin went into the league’s concussion protocol after Wilson blindsided him in Game 2 while Dumoulin was bracing for a collision with Ovechkin.The NHL’s Department of Player safety didn’t ask Wilson to explain himself during a hearing and Dumoulin was back in the lineup to start Game 3.Both teams stressed the need to move forward with so much at stake. But that was before Aston-Reese slowly made his way off the ice, flinging one of his gloves at the Washington bench in frustration, his jaw mangled and his status for the rest of the postseason uncertain.The initial point of contact was hard to discern, even on replay. Was it the shoulders? The head? Either way the tenor changed considerably.Asked afterward about the hit, Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan replied ”at some point we hope the league might do something.”Maybe not. Officials conferred for several minutes before deciding to take no action against Wilson.”They all got together and they said Adam Henrique Jersey , `You know what, we’ve got a good, clean check here,”’ NHL on-site supervisor Paul Devorski said through a pool reporter.Stephenson tied the game shortly after the sequence and a crescendo of pushing, shoving and jawing followed.Crosby put the Penguins back in front with 3:33 left in the second when he took a pretty pass from Guentzel – who occupied three Capitals before sliding the puck to his teammate – and buried it into an open net.Niskanen, who spent four seasons in Pittsburgh before signing with Washington in the summer of 2014, blasted a one-timer by Murray 5:06 into the third to set up the finish.Ovechkin and Backstrom’s two-on-one gave the Capitals the series lead over Washington for the first time since they won Game 1 of the 2016 Eastern Conference semifinal.Of course, the Capitals lost that series. As they almost always do when the Penguins are on the other side of the ice.The champions have proven to be an impossible out during their current reign. Three tight games in, Washington is well aware there’s little margin for error.”It’s a funny game Womens Andrew Cogliano Jersey ,” Niskanen said. ”Boy, sometimes the puck takes a different bounce and the score can be completely different.”NOTES: Penguins C Evgeni Malkin played 19:07 and assisted on Hornqvist’s goal in his return after missing three games with a lower-body injury. … The Penguins hosted Humboldt Broncos junior hockey player Brayden Camrud , a survivor of the bus crash that killed 16 people – many of them teammates – last month. … Pittsburgh F Carl Hagelin skated with his teammates for a second straight day, but remained out of the lineup. Hagelin is dealing with an upper-body injury and has worn a full face shield while on the ice. … Both teams went 1 for 4 on the power play. … Guentzel has recorded a point in seven straight playoff games.—
