Edmonton scores twice in the final minutes to tie it, but Phillip Danault gets his second goal of the night with 41 seconds left and the Kings escape with a 6-5 win.

Ehlers sustained a lower-body injury during a game against the Vegas Golden Knights on April 3, when he took pucks off his foot as well as the inside of his leg on two separate plays. He missed two games and then aggravated the April 12 in his second game back.

The route taken to this point was unique, but the visiting Edmonton Oilers are not in unfamiliar territory heading into Game 2 of their Western Conference first-round series with the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday.
