The Los Angeles Kings were eliminated from the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year by the Edmonton Oilers, losing a high-scoring series finale 6-4. Despite a strong regular season, including tying franchise records for wins and points, the Kings couldn't overcome historical playoff struggles against the Oilers. The series was marked by rapid scoring, particularly in the decisive game where the Kings initially took the lead. Nonetheless, they fell short in a Wild West showdown filled with fast-paced action and offensive firepower.
For the fourth time in as many years, the Kings' season came to an end with a first-round playoff loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
This year's loss may be the most painful of the nine playoff series they've dropped to Edmonton.
The Kings tied franchise bests for wins (48) and points (105) this season and won a team-record 31 times at home.
With their backs against the wall the Kings set the frenetic pace early, with Byfield scoring 79 seconds into the game.
