In the final minute of the frame, McDavid scored the goal of the night, if not the playoffs, using his blazing speed unconventionally and finishing with a snipe. He skated back toward his own goal before covering three-quarters of the ice and scorching four defenders en route to a short-side goal. First, the Thousand Oaks native had a brilliant shift from start to finish. It appeared as though the Kings would remain unblemished when Quick leaned, leaped and then lunged to deny Draisaitl’s threatening bid. But the Kings regrouped and patiently moved the puck high to defenseman Sean Durzi, whose shot was deflected in by Danault. Winger Adrian Kempe collected a loose puck in the slot and zoomed ahead, backing up Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse before leaving a drop pass for Lemieux, whose wrist shot connected through a screen by defenseman Matt Roy. “They’re going to have their moments and I thought Quickie made big saves when we needed them.” “We played in our skin, we played to our identity, it was just a carbon copy of how we’ve done it.” If that script seems familiar, it might be because a decade ago the Kings had a similarly auspicious start in Vancouver. They clinched in Game 81 (this year they did so in Game 80) and then stormed the postseason en route to the franchise’s first Stanley Cup title. Jonathan Quick stood his ground with 36 saves as the Kings earned their first postseason win since 2016. With just over five minutes left, the Kings nearly scored twice before finally finding the net to take a 4-3 lead. Regular-season team MVP Danault added an assist to his game-winner.
