Los Angeles – Adrian Camp had two third-piriod goals and two assistance, Captain Anjee Copitar added one goal and three assistance, and Los Angeles Kings led Edmonton Oilers-2-2 on Wednesday night to capture the lead 2-0 in their first round’s Stanley Cup Playf series.
Quinton Biffield and Andrei Kuzmenco scored the second direct game, and his first play-off goal was to launch an irrelevant performance by Brandt Clark’s second-born Los Angeles.
Kings Game 1 blew a four-goal lead before winning and chasing goalkeeper Stuart Skinner in less than five minutes before occupying three goals in three goals before they allowed the three-goal lead to 3-2 in the third period of Game 2.
“We played really well,” said Jim Hillar, coach of Kings. “Tonight, we had some shots alone with the goalkeeper, and we beat him. We’re aggressive and protectively playing well, tough hockey. Both are part.”
The rivals of this Pacific Division are meeting in the first round for the fourth year, but the Kings had home-ice facilities for the first time. They dominated most of the two games in the building that had the best home record of NHL, scored 12 goals – including five by five, including five, which was the worst in the regular season in the play -off team.
“We got ice at home, fought hard for this, and we wanted to take advantage of Kings.” “We’re happy so far. We’ve taken two people. You’ve come to Rink tomorrow and concentrated on the next game.
Game 3 Friday night in Edmonton.
Leon Drewsitol and Victor Rvidson scored for the Olers, but the local defensive struggles of the Defending Western conference champions could not be covered by the brightness of Drysettle and Konner McDavid, who was scoreless.
“They are very hungry with a lot of faith, and they are playing well at home,” said Oilers coach Chris Noblach. “We can play better. Special teams are the biggest part of it, (however) we can increase our game everywhere. … We have seen this team face to face more difficult than now. There is no discount on this group it’s not an ideal situation, but we must not panic.”
Darsi saved 24 for the kings of Qiper.
Los Angeles rose to 3-0 through the second when Kuzmenco associated with Kings to throw a comeback to the house with Kings at his extraordinary beginning.
Edmonton finally rose on the board when Dysitel re -inspired a nifty pass from John Klingsburg.
Rvidson played it with 15:55 against his ex-team, but after a moment of Campe answered a pass on the Copper, who later added the LA’s third power-play goal.
Calvin replaced Picard Skinner, but he scored again in Campe.
