Edmonton Oilers’ power play destroying Los ANGELES kINGS
It’s hard to believe the Edmonton Oilers power play could get even better after a record-setting regular season.The Los Angeles Kings go into Saturday’s Game 6 of their first-round playoff series with the Oilers with one goal in mind – staving off elimination. But, to do that, they’ll need to stop going to the penalty box, or find a way to stop the Oilers’ juggernaut of a power play.
“They had some success against us in the regular season,” said the NHL’s top scorer, Connor McDavid. “They work us hard. But, the strength of our power play is winning battles. It always has been. It’s not structure, it’s not anything fancy, although it may look fancy.”Power-play goals have turned Games 4 and 5 on their ears. In Game 4, down 3-0 in Los Angeles, Evan Bouchard got a power-play marker early in the second period to spark the comeback that led to a 5-4 Oilers win.
The short-handed situation the Kings were able to kill off came late in the game with Edmonton up by three goals. The Oilers were focused on running seconds off the clock. “With that being said, it’s nothing we haven’t faced before. We know it’s going to be difficult, they’re not just going to try and let us score.”
