Charlie Huddy , who was on the nightmarish other side of the Miracle on Manchester on April 10, 1982 , admits Monday night had an eerily similar feel.

Only it was Connor McDavid and the slumbering Oilers climbing out of a 4 -0 hole to tie it 5 -5 with 90 seconds left only to have Phil Danault win it for the Kings with overtime looming instead of the Oilers gassing a 5 -0 lead in 1982 with Daryl Evans beating Grant Fuhr early in OT for a 6 -5 L.A. victory.

Huddy: “Yeah, it did seem that way a bit only going the other way. I do remember that game.

Huddy: Evan Bouchard was at his best ( three assists) and worst ( 2 goals off mistakes to make 3 -0, then 4 -0) Huddy did look at McDavid and Draisaitl on the bench and saw some smoke coming out of their ears.

Corey Perry is now tied with Bobby Hull for 50th all-time playoff points at 129 .
