It's April 27th. This is NHL News Today, driven by AI, your team, nonstop. Edmonds and Oilers are staring down elimination after a 4-3 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks in Game 4, putting them behind three games to. One in this first round series. Ryan Polling scored the winner for Anaheim at 2 minutes 29 seconds of overtime, confirmed by Video Review. Game 5 heads back home to Rogers Place on Tuesday at 10 p.m. Eastern. The Oilers have been here before, clawing back from 2-0 down against Los Angeles last year, and nearly pulling off a miracle from 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Final. This time, they're facing a young, speedy duck squad that's been too quick to handle, especially with Conor McDavid nursing a sore ankle from Game 2 and Leon Dryside L still shaking off a lower body injury. Players and coaches are staying confident, pointing to the team's resilience when the pressure's on. McDavid still flash brilliance with two powerplay assists, despite not being at full speed, and
the group believes they've got the fight to turn it. A rangome. On a brighter note, Goli Tristan Jerry looks sharp in his first start since early April, stopping 34 shots. The powerplay exploded for two goals on two chances in Game 4, and defense tightened up overall after some rough patches. Now it's all about that home crowd energy and Edmonton to snag a must-win and shift the momentum, hoping the duck start feeling the weight of their lead for the first time.
