“We’ve got a lot of character. We’re going to
go down swinging, if we go down,” Draisaitl said. “We’ve created
that approach here and that attitude within this organization
and we’re not going to back down until we’re out."
Game 4 is Sunday night in Edmonton.
“We’ll take a rest just like we did after we won the games,”
Kings coach Jim Hiller said. “Take a look at it, regroup just
like they did. It might sound a little boring, but I think this
is how these things go. It’s emotional, the crowd is emotional,
we’re emotional, so we’ve just got to cool our heads out and get
ready to play another hockey game.”
Bouchard and Connor Brown each had two goals and Ryan
Nugent-Hopkins, and Connor McDavid also scored. Calvin Pickard
made 25 saves after Stuart Skinner started the first two games
in Los Angeles.
Kane played just his second game after losing the entire regular
season to injury.
“I thought the first two games we were kind of still in
regular-season mode and tonight, especially in the first period
we looked like we were ready to go and we had a big push in the
third,” he said.
Adrian Kempe, Kevin Fiala, Drew Doughty and Trevor Moore scored
Los Angeles. Darcy Kuemper stopped 29 shots.
