Canucks had their chances to clear that puck before the go ahead goal. Lacked a bit of composure after tying the game.

With 38.1 left, it's Bouchard's wrister from slot beating Silovs under blocker-side arm. Oil wins 3-2. Series even. Game 5 on Thursday at RA. #Canucks
Cal Pickard delivers his first Stanley Cup playoff win in his first career start. Pickard stopped 19 of 21 as #Oilers draw even with #Canucks. We’ll have a Game 6 in Edmonton on Saturday. Pivotal Game 5 on tap.
THE OILERS STRIKE BACK IN A MINUTE TO TAKE A 3-2 LEAD AND WIN IT OH NO CANUCKS @spittinchiclets https://t.co/jBlko2q8fN

Not sure who couldn't clear the puck in the Canucks zone there, but that's a sick way to lose. What a game, what a series. Never end, please.
Bouchard gets his second GWG of the series, his tie with 39 seconds left. Oilers win 3-2 and tie the series at two wins apiece.

This Oilers-Canucks game is bananas. Bonkers, even.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN EDMONTON RIGHT NOW??!! 🤯 #StanleyCup
Oilers! https://t.co/PwZghjIFOE
Bouchard with the heartbreaker as the Oilers retake the lead with 38.1 seconds remaining. That said, 38.1 seconds is just another challenge for the never-say-die #Canucks.
Maybe a series saving response from the Oilers
A BIT OF PUCK LUCK TIES THIS GAME UP FOR THE CANUCKS WITH JUST OVER A MINUTE REMAINING @spittinchiclets https://t.co/Np5jwKuKDW
Ya, why not. Petey wins draw with Silovs out, Boeser shot off Oiler and then Joshua's skate. 2-2. #Canucks
Oh man the #canucks tie it 6 on 5. The 3rd line again with Boeser. We’re heading to OT folks. Oilers just stopped playing in the 3rd. They need to close out games. This would be a catastrophe.
Calvin Pickard, the Leafs third goalie that never played, starting in Game 4 for the Oilers. Now.
