'Resilient' Oilers overcome bad break to eliminate Kings

LOS ANGELES -- Kailer Yamamoto scored his first playoff goal with 3 minutes, 2 seconds remaining, and the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Los Angeles Kings 5-4 on Saturday night to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Klim Kostin had two goals and an assist as the Oilers eliminated the Kings (4-2) for the second straight season. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl also scored in Game 6, and Stuart Skinner stopped 40 shots.

"It's always so hard, especially in the first round," McDavid said in an interview on TNT's postgame show.
