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.
