For the third consecutive opening round of the playoffs, the Kings find themselves underdogs headed to Edmonton.
Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers skates with the puck against Drew Doughty of the Kings in the third period at Crypto.com Arena on February 10, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Game 2: Wednesday at Edmonton, 7 p.m. Game 4: Sunday at L.A., 7:30 p.m. Oilers category … Kings FORWARDS
As has been the case in each of the three matchups, the Oilers’ stampeding attack will send its bulls running into the minefield that is the Kings’ 1-3-1 neutral-zone trap. The Oilers lean heavily on Connor McDavid, not due to any lack of support but because any offense would rely on his class-of-its-own production. Though he missed out on what would have been his sixth scoring title in eight seasons by finishing third in points , McDavid still had plenty to tout.
