Their last game took place on May 10, 2022, and resulted in a high-scoring 5-4 win for the Los Angeles Kings with the deciding goal coming in over time. One of the reasons behind the Kings’ triumph was the performance of Adrian Kempe. He was on the ice for 21:29 and ended the game with 2 goals and 1 assist to his account. It was Leon Draisaitl who played best for the Oilers, as he spent 20:29 skating, scoring twice and providing 1 assist. The Kings’ goalie Jonathan Quick played on a very high level and ended the game with a 0.857 save percentage. Mike Smith was between the sticks for the Oilers and parried 38 of all the 43 shots he faced, but that proved insufficient for the win. When it comes to the latest five encounters the Los Angeles Kings won 3 and the Edmonton Oilers triumphed 2 times.

On 05/10 Los Angeles Kings faced Edmonton Oilers and in the end the score was 4-5 in their favor. It was Adrian Kempe who concluded the match as the LA Kings’ best skater on the night. He spent 21:29 on the ice and was personally responsible for earning 3 points. He finished the meeting, scoring 2 of his 9 shots on goal, and turned provider for another 1. Jonathan Quick’s heroics between the sticks were another reason for the team’s triumph, as he saved 24 of the 28 shots he faced. The Los Angeles Kings won 7 and lost 3 of their last 10 meetings, with 1 of those defeats coming in OT or shootouts. The franchise is on a W2 streak at the moment. The Kings went through the regular NHL season having a 21-16-4 when playing at their own arena. If the team comes on top tonight and force game 7, it will take place in Edmonton on 14th of May.
