Kings Face Crucial Game 4 Against Oilers After Disappointing Loss
Ahead of Game 4 of their opening-round playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers, the Los Angeles Kings are grappling with a significant challenge: sealing the deal. Despite a strong regular season, where they led through 40 minutes and didn’t lose in regulation after scoring three goals, the Kings faltered in Game 3, losing 7-4 after blowing a lead in the third period.
The coaching staff, led by Jim Hiller, remains optimistic, noting the team’s ability to lead against a formidable opponent. Hiller redirected questions about concerns, highlighting the importance of maintaining a lead. Alternate captain Drew Doughty echoed this positivity, urging his teammates to hold their heads high despite the setback, stating, “We played well for a lot of that game.”
Contrastingly, the Oilers, facing their own struggles defensively, managed to capitalize on the Kings’ mistakes, outscoring them 4-0 in the final frame of Game 3. Edmonton’s stars, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, continue to shine, leading the series in points.
The Kings aim to regain their momentum in Game 4 on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at Rogers Place.
