Mike Smith made 30 saves for his fifth career playoff shutout as the Edmonton Oilers blitzed the Los Angeles Kings 6-0 Wednesday night at Rogers Place.

“Now we get to L.A. and reset and get ready for the next one.” It flipped up in the air and Kings defenceman Sean Durzi tried to swat it to the corner but instead it wound up in his own net. “He’s poised with the puck and he makes good plays. ”It’s one game. We didn’t try to force anything. ”We were patient.

As always, we had the lineup report and more in the show. The team dropped the series opener to the Kings now they’ll look to avoid going into a nasty 0-2 hole in game two of the series.

NHL Playoffs odds, picks and predictions for Los Angeles Kings at Edmonton Oilers on May 4. NHL betting free picks for moneyline and Over/Under.

Smith might be a bottom-tier playoff goalie, but the Kings finished the season in the Bottom 12 in goals per game and only five other teams scored fewer 5-on-5 markers than Todd McLellan’s group. The playoffs and regular season are two different beasts. Game 1 saw seven total goals, but things settled down in the second half where just one goal was scored over the final 30 minutes. This one-two punch of the Kings is the team’s strength and one it will be relying on heavily to win four games. The Kings’ 34-44-4 O/U record was one of the best Under records in hockey. He also had a hand in containing the Evander Kane-Connor McDavid-Jesse Puljujarvi line that finished with an expected goal percentage of 35.2% at 5-on-5 in Game 1. Edmonton was certainly outplayed at even strength in Monday’s opener and relied heavily on the power play for scoring opportunities. Getting +170 again tonight is a fantastic number, especially with the doubt creeping into the Edmonton locker room and the goaltending situation very questionable. It’s the playoffs and that means it's time for the Kings’ Phillip Danault to shine. Edmonton closed as -200 moneyline favorites for Game 1 and that total closed at 6. Can L.A. take a commanding 2-0 series lead back to California? Can Edmonton become less reliant on the power play and trust its goaltending?

Live Blog: Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings, Game Two (Edmonton Journal)

Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs the Edmonton Oilers host the Los Angeles Kings at Rogers Place tonight. Puck drop scheduled after 8 p.m..

“With the pandemic and not being able to go see Oilers games in person, the first goal I’m just going to lose my mind, let’s be honest,” Kane said. Kane said he has been waiting the majority of his life for this moment. But all anybody will likely remember was one of the greatest goalie gaffes in Stanley Cup history, made by 40-year-old Mike Smith, to lose it. Pavel Datsyuk was very ordinary for the Red Wings early on, or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle here in 2017, when neither scored in 13 games against San Jose and Anaheim, with RNH picking up four assists and Eberle two. Nugent-Hopkins was strong on the special teams, as usual, but he and Derek Ryan were on for the first two L.A. goals even-strength by Trevor Moore and Alex Iafallo, and Warren Foegele for the opening Moore goal in the high slot. After two-and-a-half months of succeeding in essentially playing playoff hockey for new head coach Jay Woodcroft, the Oilers were greeted by their first playoff crowd since 2017 replicating scenes from the past. The tailgate and Ford Hall are free of charge and both open two hours before puck drop. Archibald will play on the Oilers third line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Derek Ryan in Game 2. “Just watching the first game, it was exciting with the fans and the atmosphere around it, it was a lot fun and I’m excited to get back.” The jackpot is expected to grow over the five days with early bird prizes such as cash prizes, tickets and unique Oilers fan experiences. “The team was strong last time, (they made) a couple of mistakes here and there.” Teams that go down 2-0 lose the series 88 per cent of the time.

The Edmonton Oilers look bounces back after a 4-3 loss in game one tonight as they beat the Los Angeles Kings in game 2 at Rogers Place in Edmonton.

After that goal the Edmonton Oilers sat back and protected the shutout for Mike Smith. It was nice to see Mike Smith have an excellent game. It may only be on game, but the Edmonton Oilers played an excellent game tonight. The game was already out of reach for the Kings, but it was nice to see the 2nd unit get a powerplay goal. In the second period the Edmonton Oilers were able to flip the script. Ryan McLeod was able to add an even strength goal near the end of the period to make it 3-0 heading into the final period. If the Oilers give up a goal on one of those powerplays this is a completely different game.
