The Los Angeles Kings dominated the depleted Edmonton Oilers with a 5-0 victory, securing home-ice advantage for their first-round playoff series. Adrian Kempe led the way with a goal and two assists, while Warren Foegele and Kevin Fiala also contributed with a goal and an assist each. Quinton Byfield and Vladislav Gavrikov also found the back of the net for the Kings.
The Kings have won seven of their last eight games and will play the first two games of their playoff series at Crypto.com Arena, where they have excelled this season. They will face the Oilers, who were missing several key players due to injuries and rest.
The Kings are looking to carry their regular-season success against the Oilers into the playoffs, as Edmonton has eliminated them in the first round for the past three years. The game turned contentious when Darnell Nurse of the Oilers received a major penalty and game misconduct for a cross-check to Byfield’s head.
Next up, the Kings will play at Seattle before ending their regular season with a home game against Calgary. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
