Oilers set NHL playoff record with 5th straight comeback win

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

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

"We're a patient group, we're a veteran team. The guys here have been playing a lot of playoffs throughout the years," Edmonton defenseman John Klingberg said.
