Kings 2, Oilers 2

The teams traded goals within the first five minutes of the third period to make it a 2-2 game.

First, directly off a faceoff win, Theo Peckham fired a shot from the blue line, through significant traffic, and Jean-Francois Jacques was credited with the goal on a deflection in front.

Then, 20 seconds later, the Kings tied the game. Wayne Simmonds carried the puck to the net with speed, then got it back in the corner and fed a short pass to Jack Johnson. Johnson whipped a wrist shot from the middle of the left circle and scored at the 4:45 mark.
