The Kings and Edmonton Oilers are old postseason foes, with this year’s first-round matchup marking their 11th meeting in the Stanley Cup playoffs. But with Wednesday’s 6-2 win in Game 2 of the best-of-seven series, the Kings have done something they’ve never accomplished previously.
They’ve taken a 2-0 lead.
The Kings, who have yet to trail in the series, got two goals from Adrian Kempe and single scores from Brandt Clarke, Quinton Byfield, Andrei Kuzmenko and Anze Kopitar, with Clarke, Kuzmenko and Kopitar all scoring on the power play.
