CBS News Los Angeles

With a tied series, the Los Angeles Kings will be back on the ice Tuesday night, trying to take the lead against the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the playoffs.

During their trip to Canada last week, the Kings lost their 2-0 lead. Game 4 went into overtime when forward Leon Draisaitl scored off a rebound.

The Kings will be back at Crypto.com Arena at 7 p.m. with coverage starting at 6:30 p.m. 

Going into the game, a writer for the Kings said left wing Warren Foegele is a player to watch. He scored his first goal of the series against his former team in Game 4 and has three points in the series.

The Kings are hoping forward Phillip Danault can find the back of the goal after becoming the fifth player in franchise history with as many multi-point games in the first four games of a postseason, the team said. 

The Kings will have to keep their eyes on the Edmonton goaltender, Calvin Pickard, who had 38 saves on 41 shots for his second win of the postseason. 

Whoever wins this series will face the winner between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Minnesota Wild who are also tied in their series.

Game 5 of the playoff series will be broadcast on KCAL News Los Angeles and KCAL+.
