Leon Draisaitl broke a tie with 7:20 left and the Edmonton Oilers vaulted into second place in the Pacific Division with a 3-1 victory over the Kings in Los Angeles on Tuesday night in a pivotal game for playoff seeding.

The teams split the four-game season series and are on course to possibly meet in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the second straight year.

Edmonton had home ice in last year's series and won in seven games. Draisaitl, who also had two assists, extended his point streak to 13 games with 10 goals and 27 points during that span.

Both of Edmonton's goals came on the power play. Draisaitl had the go-ahead score at 12:40 of the third period when he put in a rebound past Pheonix Copley in front of Los Angeles' net.
