Ducks 4, Oilers 3
Corey Perry scored the game-winning goal at 6:57 of the second overtime, capping an amazing comeback as the Anaheim Ducks topped the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 on Friday night at Honda Center.
The Oilers scored three goals in the final 3:16 of regulation with goaltender John Gibson pulled for an extra attacker to erase a 3-0 Oilers lead and force overtime.
The Ducks take a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-seven Western Conference second-round series, with a chance to clinch a spot in the conference final on Sunday at Edmonton's Rogers Place.
Rickard Rakell forced extra time with a goal with 15 seconds remaining in regulation. Ryan Getzlaf and Cam Fowler also scored for the Ducks, who became the first NHL club to rally from three goals down in the final four minutes of regulation to win.
Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist, and Leon Draisaitl and Drake Caggiula also scored for the Oilers.
Blues 2, Predators 1
Channeling desperation into perhaps their most complete effort of the playoffs, St. Louis stayed alive in their Western Conference semifinal series, beating Nashville.
Jaden Schwartz broke a tie 25 seconds into the third period, cutting the Predators' lead in the best-of-seven series to 3-2.
Dmitrij Jaskin also scored for the Blues and James Neal scored for the Predators.
