Zach Hyman scored from just above the right circle with 3:02 left to put Edmonton ahead for good, and the Oilers rallied yet again this postseason to beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 in Game 1 of the second-round series.

The Oilers and Golden Knights meet Tuesday night at Vegas in Game 1 of their Western Conference series, the second time in three seasons they’re facing each other in the second round.
