<p>The Kings opened the scoring in the latter part of the first period after Leon Draisaitl took a two-minute penalty for hooking. Adrian Kempe carried the puck deep into Edmonton&#8217;s zone while on the man advantage and fed Kevin Fiala in the high slot for a one-timer that made its way through Stuart Skinner.</p>

<p>Kempe added a goal of his own a few minutes later to give the Kings a 2-0 lead. He snuck behind Edmonton&#8217;s defenders as the Kings gained possession of the puck in their own zone and was sprung in on a breakaway by Anze Kopitar. The Kings were outshooting the Oilers 11 to 2 by this point and it seemed the ice was tilted in Los Angeles&#8217;s favour.</p>
