Zach Hyman scored from just above the right circle with 3:02 left to put Edmonton ahead for good in its 4-2 victory over Vegas Golden Knights after falling behind 2-0.

Heading into the third period of Tuesday’s Game 1 matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Edmonton Oilers needed a spark.

A pair of second-round series in the NHL playoffs began on Tuesday. The Carolina Hurricanes, who downed the New Jersey Devils in the first round, took down the Washington Capitals, who beat the Montreal Canadiens in Round 1, in Game 1 on the road.
