The Oilers are on the brink, because a puck (apparently) trickled across the goal line

ANAHEIM, Calif. — It took 60 seconds, maybe more, for officials on the ice at Honda Center to make their decision. It took four minutes for the NHL to confirm it. It took the league another hour or so to fully explain it.Eventually, though, Game 4 between the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks, a 4-3 overtime win by the Ducks that gave them a 3-1 series lead in equal parts commanding and shocking, ended the way it should have. Ducks forward Ryan Poehling officially flung a puck off Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse’s skate, past goaltender Tristan Jarry and far enough over the goal line to register, fairly, as a goal.Advertisement
