It was both.
The Flames were running high in game 1 and for whatever reason Markstrom decided stopping goals was not important
That gave the Oilers all kind of confidence and the defense collapsed. By that time Markstrom was already dead.

Yup. I thought the turning point of the series was the two terribly soft goals by Hyman in game one. The Flames still won the game, but those goals inspired confidence in the Oilers that they could score and get back in the series.
From there, everything unraveled and the Oilers' confidence continued to grow.
