The Edmonton Oilers didn't just flirt with disaster on Sunday night, they came close to tying the knot.
Nearly halfway through their Game 4 battle with the Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton was trailing 3-1 and staring down the barrel of a 3-1 series deficit. That wouldn't have have been a death sentence per se, but it could be fairly described as a situation they would've been unlikely to escape — especially with the Kings playing solid hockey.
Luckily for the Oilers, they employ a man by the name of Leon Draisaitl.
