Edmonton Oilers Lose Game 4 to Vancouver Canucks
Canucks Win 3-2, Oilers Look to Regain Home Advantage in Game 5
Game 5 of the Battle of Alberta set for Sunday in Calgary
**Edmonton, AB** - The Edmonton Oilers fell 3-2 to the Vancouver Canucks in Game 4 of the Battle of Alberta on Saturday night at Rogers Place. J.T. Miller scored the game-winning goal with just 33 seconds remaining in the third period. The Oilers will now look to regain home advantage in Game 5, which is set for Sunday night at the Scotia Bank Saddledome in Calgary. Puck drop is scheduled for 8 p.m. MT. The Oilers had a chance to tie the game late in the third period, but Connor McDavid's shot hit the post. Vancouver goaltender Thatcher Demko made 30 saves in the win. Edmonton now trails the series 3-1. The Oilers have never come back from a 3-0 deficit in a playoff series. "We're not going to give up," Oilers captain Connor McDavid said. "We've been through a lot this year, and we're not going to let one loss get us down." The Oilers will need to find a way to generate more offense in Game 5. They have scored just three goals in the last two games. "We need to get more pucks to the net," Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said. "We're not getting enough shots on goal, and we're not creating enough scoring chances." The Canucks, meanwhile, will be looking to close out the series in Game 5. They have won three straight games after dropping the series opener. "We're confident, but we're not overconfident," Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "We know the Oilers are a good team, and we're going to have to play our best game to win in Calgary."
