Oilers Rally For Nhl-record Fifth Straight Time To Beat Golden Knights 4-2 In Game 1

Zach Hyman scored from just above the right circle with 3:02 left to put Edmonton ahead for good, and the Oilers rallied yet again this postseason to beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the second-round series.

The Oilers, who came back from 2-0 down, set an NHL record with their fifth consecutive playoff comeback victory .

Vegas, which had just seven shots on goal over the final two periods, lost a playoff game in regulation after leading by at least two goals for the first time. The Golden Knights are 47-4 overall in the postseason with that kind of lead.

Game 2 is Thursday night in Las Vegas.

Leon Draisaitl had a goal and an assist for the Oilers, and Corey Perry and Connor Brown scored the other goals. Evan Bouchard and Connor McDavid each had two assists. McDavid now has four consecutive postseasons with at least 10 assists for fourth-best in league history. Calvin Pickard was barely tested after the first period and finished with 15 shots.
