and Viktor Arvidsson. They expected and got increased production from Adrian Kempe, who scored a career-best 41 goals and was a major contributor in the playoffs against Edmonton. They expected to see development from their young players and got mixed results, with Quinton Byfield stalled offensively but Gabe Vilardi stepping up when most needed.
Kings forward Phillip Danault scores a short-handed goal past Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner during the third period. Skinner apparently broke his stick on the attempt and had to get a new one from the bench while Kings fans celebrated their unexpected good fortune. The Oilers had struck first Saturday. While fans were still settling into their seats, McDavid redirected a shot by defenseman Evan Bouchard past Korpisalo 1 minute and 25 seconds into the game. The Kings responded at 8:13. Fiala, skating up the right side, fed defenseman Sean Durzi, whose shot from just above the left circle got through a screen and past Skinner for the equalizer.
Still resilient, the Kings responded at 6:36, during a power play of their own. Kempe settled a pass from Fiala and then ripped a shot into the upper-right corner of the net to cut Edmonton’s lead to 3-2. Kempe recorded at least one point in all six games of the series. Given another power play at 7:17, they cashed in on a shot by Fiala, set up by Drew Doughty and Arvidsson.
