The Oilers nearly pulled off the most impossible comeback, but it fell short when they gave up a goal in the final minute, which has led them to make a guarantee. Phillip Danault scored his second goal of the night with just 42 seconds left in regulation to propel the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/news/edmonton-oilers-los-angeles-kings-game-1-recap-april-21' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Los Angeles Kings to a 6-5 victory over the Edmonton Oilers</a> in Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round at Crypto.com Arena on Monday. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1914556244515545538'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <h3>The Kings blew a four goal lead</h3> After squandering a four-goal lead, the Kings regained control when Danault's wrist shot from the high slot took an odd bounce, fluttering past Stuart Skinner's right shoulder. His winner came not long after Connor McDavid had knotted the game 5-5 at the 18:32 mark. McDavid, skating in on the attack, fired a shot off the left post from the right circle, beating Darcy Kuemper with <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/stuart-skinner-8479973' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Skinner</a> pulled for an extra attacker. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series will be at the same venue on Wednesday. Zach Hyman spoke following this heartbreaking loss and made a bold guarantee for the next game, and he promised the team will be a lot better than they were last night. We can be a lot better, Hyman admitted. We gave ourselves a chance to win the game. I like that we stayed with it even though there were a lot of opportunities to quit. We still lost, but I think you can take some positives out of that. We fell short today, which sucks, nobody is happy about it. We have a history of bouncing back, and I'm sure we'll play a lot better in Game 2. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1914554024902451211'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Andrei Kuzmenko and Adrian Kempe each recorded a goal and two assists, and Quinton Byfield and Kevin Fiala each scored a goal and had an assist.
