Oilers disagree with OT goal ruling that has Ducks up 3-1

Ryan Poehling scored a controversial overtime goal in Game 4 on Sunday, April 27, 2026, giving the Anaheim Ducks a 4-3 victory and a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference first-round playoffs. The goal came less than three minutes into overtime when Poehling's shot deflected off defenseman Darnell Nurse's skate and trickled behind goalie Tristan Jarry, with referee Jake Brenk not initially signaling a goal. After a roughly 90-second huddle among officials, the call was confirmed as a goal, but Edmonton players including defenseman Mattias Ekholm publicly questioned whether the ruling was correct.
