Leon Draisaitl wasn’t fazed as his Edmonton Oilers faced a three-goal deficit at the end of the first period of Game 4 against the Los Angeles Kings.

Instead, Draisaitl and the Oilers were able to rally and post what might be their biggest win of the season.

Zach Hyman scored at 10:39 of overtime Sunday night as the Oilers rallied to beat the Kings 5-4 and even their first-round playoff series at two games apiece.

"I think all playoff games are big tests, but this one was massive for our group. I thought we responded well," said Draisaitl, who had two goals and an assist. "It is not an easy team to come back against. We came back in waves in the second period and put ourselves back into it."

Hyman's snap shot from the left faceoff circle was his first goal of the playoffs. It was the first time since 1997 against Dallas that the Oilers came back to win a playoff game after trailing by three or more goals.
