The Anaheim Ducks entered Game 4 with a 2-1 series lead<\/a>, and a chance to push the Edmonton Oilers to the brink. It was a very close encounter between these two teams. In the end, they needed overtime. After a lengthy review, Ryan Poehling emerged as Anaheim’s overtime winner.<\/p>\n

Poehling carried the puck along the wall in overtime. He attempted to pass the puck in the low slot, but it deflected off someone<\/a> in front. It went between the legs of Oilers goalie Tristan Jarry. After some confusion, the officials on the ice ruled that the puck crossed the line. A lengthy video review confirmed the goal, giving Anaheim a chaotic win.<\/p>\n

POEHLING! POEHLING! POEHLING!<\/p>\n

Anaheim lost the first game of this series to the Oilers. However, they have been the better team since that Game 1 defeat. Over the last three games, they have scored 15 goals as Edmonton struggles to keep the puck out of their net.<\/p>\n

Poehling joined the Ducks this offseason in the Trevor Zegras trade<\/a> with the Philadelphia Flyers. He made his playoff debut in Game 1 of this series. In Game 2, he scored twice to help the Ducks claim a 6-4 win and tie the series at the time.<\/p>\n

The Oilers have shown resiliency in past postseasons. In 2024, they trailed the Florida Panthers 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Final. In 2025, they trailed the Los Angeles Kings 2-0 in the first round. They failed to beat the Panthers for the Cup, but did force Game 7. Edmonton did, however, defeat the Kings in six games.<\/p>\n

Edmonton will need to find that same resiliency this season if they wish to make a third straight Stanley Cup Final. The Ducks, meanwhile, will hit the ice at Rogers Place on Tuesday night looking to end the Oilers’ season early.<\/p>\n
