The Vancouver Canucks lost their first post-season away game on Tuesday when the Edmonton Oilers scored in the final minute of Game 4 Tuesday.
The second-round playoff series is now tied 2-2.
Canucks third-string goaltender Arturs Silovs stopped 27 out of 30 shots. Edmonton’s backup Calvin Pickard blocked 19 out of 21 shots on goal.
Yet again, Edmonton opened the scoring with a power play goal, after J.T. Miller was called for interfering with Leon Draisaitl. At the 11:10 mark, it was Draisaitl who got a snap shot past Silovs.
Vancouver had two chances to capitalize on power plays in the first period, including a four-minute man advantage after Evander Kane got a double minor for high-sticking Tyler Myers. But the Canucks failed to find the back of the net during either Oilers penalty.
The next goal didn’t come until there were 40 seconds left in the second period, when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins gave the Oilers a two-goal lead.
Vancouver made it on to the board 6:54 into the third period with a Conor Garland goal, his second of the post-season.
