In Game 4 of their series, the Edmonton Oilers secured a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, with goaltender Stuart Skinner playing a pivotal role by achieving his first playoff shutout with 33 saves and a save percentage of .988. This win puts the Oilers ahead in the series with a 3-1 lead. Evan Bouchard scored the game-winning goal, marking his first of the postseason. Despite the Kings' strong 5 on 5 play, the Oilers have been impressive on special teams, succeeding in 8 out of 15 power plays throughout the series. They also maintained a perfect penalty kill record, stopping all 11 penalties faced. The Oilers managed to win despite recording only 13 shots on goal, their lowest in a game since March 24, 2011. Edmonton is set to potentially close out the series at home in the next game.
