Stuart Skinner stole the show in Los Angeles on Sunday night, making 33 saves in a 1-0 victory to help give the Edmonton Oilers a 3-1 series lead over the Kings.
Skinner's shutout was the first of his playoff career. He entered Game 4 with an .890 save percentage in the series after posting a .905 clip in 59 regular-season outings.
Evan Bouchard notched the game's only goal, a power-play tally 11 minutes into the second period.
The Kings put forth a strong effort to try and even the series, outshooting the Oilers 33-13 while controlling 64.52% of scoring chances and 74.86% of expected goals at five-on-five, according to Natural Stat Trick.
Edmonton's quiet offensive night came after the team scored a combined 17 goals in the opening three games of the playoffs.
The Oilers can end the series with a win on home ice Wednesday night. They've eliminated the Kings in each of the past two postseasons.
