Oilers Take Control of Alberta in Game 4 (5-3); Rangers Get Even With ‘Canes (4-1)

The Battle of Alberta is leaning north after the Oilers survived a Game 4 scare on Tuesday. Edmonton blew a three-goal lead to Calgary after the Flames caught fire, but a pair of goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Evander Kane slammed the door (5-3). Out east, the Rangers won a no-doubter in Game 4 (4-1) to even the series with the Hurricanes at two games apiece. Igor Shesterkin was dominant again with 30 saves in a one-goal performance. He’s given up just six goals in the four series games. The Lightning are waiting in the semifinals, but the Avalanche can punch their ticket to Round 3 tonight.
