The Ducks have won three straight to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series heading to Game 5 in Edmonton on Tuesday (10 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, KCOP-13, TNT, truTV, Victory+, HBO MAX).<\/p>\n
Cutter Gauthier<\/a>, Mikael Granlund<\/a> and Jeffrey Viel<\/a> scored, Jackson LaCombe<\/a> and John Carlson<\/a> each had two assists, and Lukas Dostal<\/a> made 24 saves for the Ducks, who are the No. 3 seed from the Pacific Division.<\/p>\n “We’re up 3-1 and every game has been a toss-up,” Ducks coach Joel Quenneville said. “Hanging in there and finding different ways, different guys, against an excellent hockey team. We’re in a position now to look ahead and only think of one game.”<\/p>\n Evan Bouchard<\/a> had a goal and an assist, Kasperi Kapanen<\/a> and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins<\/a> also scored, and Connor McDavid<\/a> had two assists for the Oilers, who are the No. 2 seed from the Pacific.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did a good job of putting ourselves in a pretty good spot and we just didn\u2019t find a way to get it done,\u201d McDavid said. \u201cWe\u2019re in a hole, no doubt about it. We have to find a way to get a win at home.\u201d<\/p>\n Jarry made 34 saves for Edmonton in his first Stanley Cup Playoff start in almost four years. He\u00a0replaced Connor\u00a0Ingram, who gave up 14 goals on 93 shots in the first three games of the series (.849 save percentage).\u00a0<\/p>\n “Tristan played really well,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. “Two of the goals, one went off our defenseman\u2019s stick and the other was an unfortunate bounce that went off a skate. He made some big saves and that\u2019s what we wanted from him. A solid performance.”<\/p>\n The Oilers scored first for the fourth straight game to take a 1-0 lead 38 seconds into the first period. Jake Walman<\/a> took a shot from above the left circle that was blocked by Beckett Sennecke<\/a>. Pavel Mintyukov<\/a> then failed to clear the puck from in front of his crease, and Kapanen was there to shoot it into the net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ducks have won three straight to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series heading to Game…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":631551,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-631550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631550\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/631551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
