Kings goaltender Joonas Korpisalo is pulled in the second period as 13 Edmonton players land on the scoresheet in a 6-3 win that pushes the Kings to the brink of elimination. Game 6 is Saturday in …
| UPDATED:EDMONTON, Alberta — What not to do when you are trying to regain lost momentum …That hardly covered the Kings’ error-riddled performance in Game 5 on Tuesday night – a 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place – but that is a decent start at getting the general idea across.
This time, there is a sizable gap in the schedule as Game 6 is on Saturday at Cyrpto.com Arena, which conceivably could help the Kings regroup, reset … or whatever word you want to use. The winning recipe for Edmonton went well beyond the McDavid/Leon Draisaitl Show. Thirteen different Oilers landed on the scoresheet, including McDavid, who had two assists, and Draisaitl, who scored his sixth goal of the series. Nick Bjugstad scored twice, his first goals of the series.
The Kings got goals from Alex Iafallo and Adrian Kempe, both in the first period, and Quinton Byfield, in the third. It was Byfield’s first career playoff goal.
