Los Angeles did it the hard way in Game 1 as it blew a four-goal lead before rallying for a 6-5 victory over Edmonton on Phillip Danault's second goal with 41 seconds left in regulation. This puts the Kings in a letdown spot heading into Game 2 and their goalie, Darcy Kuemper, allowed the five goals on 25 shots before being bailed out on the offensive side. The Oilers still have won four of six and they are in a triple-revenge situation against the Kings. Edmonton has too many weapons to go down 0-2 in the series. Connor McDavid had 26 goals and 74 assists this season, Zach Hyman had 27 goals and 17 assists and Leon Draisaitl finished with 52 goals and 54 assists. Edmonton goalie, Stuart Skinner, had a bad night on Monday, but he is 26-18-4 with a 2.81 goals-against average with three shutouts. Look for Edmonton to bounce back tonihgt. Take the Oilers in Game 2.
