Draisaitl scores a go-ahead goal with 7:20 left and adds two assists as Edmonton vaults the Kings in the ever-shuffling standings with a 3-1 victory. Both teams have four games left in the regular …
LOS ANGELES — For the Kings, a Pacific Division title and even home ice in the first round of the playoffs drifted further into the horizon on Tuesday night when they were stifled for the second time in less than a week by the Edmonton Oilers, who prevailed 3-1 at Crypto.com Arena.. In both instances, the victories moved them ahead of the Kings in the standings. Both teams have four games remaining with Edmonton holding a one-point lead.
Winger Viktor Arvidsson scored the Kings’ solitary goal on Tuesday. Pheonix Copley snapped his string of nine consecutive decisions with at least one point earned for his team, making 28 of 30 saves. With 96 seconds remaining, Nurse’s length-of-the-ice, bank shot into an empty net condemned the Kings to defeat.
Skinner was impenetrable for more than five-and-a-half periods, with him shutting out the Kings on Thursday and past the midpoint of Tuesday’s third period. A dump-in and forecheck allowed Trevor Moore to recover the puck and slip it to Arvidsson’s one-timer from the blue line. The equalizer was Arvidsson’s 25th goal of the season.
