Frustration was getting the better of the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

Already down 5-0 to the San Jose Sharks in Game 4 late in the second period, Leon Draisaitl got in a pushing match in the Sharks' zone with Chris Tierney, before delivering a dangerous spear to Tierney's midsection.

The spear resulted in a five-minute major and a game misconduct for Draisaitl, while Tierney headed to the Sharks' dressing room, but later returned to the game.

San Jose would have the last laugh, as Joe Pavelski collected his second goal of the game on the ensuing man-advantage, pushing the lead to 6-0.

Of course, any supplemental discipline for the play would be a huge blow for the Oilers.
