EDMONTON — History repeating itself is the next goal for the Edmonton Oilers.
Kings forward Gabe Vilardi, who scored 23 goals for L.A. this season, skated Tuesday after missing the last nine games of the regular season with an upper-body injury.
Rogers Place adopted Doughty as the series villain. He said before Game 1 that because of McDavid’s hit on his defensive partner back in March “if we get a chance to smack him, we’re going to try to do that.” Leon Draisaitl’s anticipation and agility produced Edmonton’s first and third goals. The Oilers blocked more shots than Los Angeles for two periods and met the Kings’ first-period hostility with their own.
But Evan Bouchard’s high-sticking penalty with less than two minutes to go was ruinous. It gave Los Angeles two extra attackers with Joonas Korpisalo out of his net.Article content
