La Kings

The goal was Durzi's first career playoff tally. The comeback Kings then tied the game 29 seconds into the third period when Carl Grundstrom rifled home a wrist ...

Trailing by two, the Kings responded on the power play when Sean Durzi one-timed home a shot from the point with 6:01 remaining in the second period. The tightly contested battle saw a Kings team fight back from an early deficit and give themselves a chance to win the game late in the third. Leading the series 3-2, the Kings entered Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night with a chance to close out the Edmonton Oilers season.

The Los Angeles Kings will have to travel back to Edmonton for Game 7 of their first-round series against the Oilers.

That was a big part of the game tonight.” “There wasn’t anything lopsided about the game,” he said. “If you sit and dwell on it, it’s just going to bring negative energy. What led up to the goal was not a good look for Kings forward Andreas Athanasiou. He can produce in an electrifying fashion and then have moments like this: We all need to play at our very best if we want to win hockey games. Somebody’s going to make mistakes and the other team’s going to capitalize. 6. Connor McDavid played big minutes, a game-high 24:02, and had a three-point night, scoring once and adding two assists, including the secondary assist on the game-winner. But if you told us that we’ve got to win one game to advance, we’d certainly take the opportunity. 3. Once upon a time, the Kings were playing in Game 7s with regularity. The Oilers survived with defenseman Tyson Barrie’s late third-period goal and then added an empty-netter to defeat the Kings, 4-2, in Game 6 on Thursday night at the arena formerly known as Staples Center. 2. You’ll see plenty of statistics associated with Game 7 in the next 48 hours. They obviously had a good start.”

“If somebody said hey, the LA Kings against the Edmonton Oilers, go play for one game, we’re not particularly happy with how we got to it tonight, but we can’t do anything about that now, so let’s look ahead. It was probably because they fell short to the Oilers, 4-2. You need to win to get in, or your season is over. See you there. The Kings will need him to have a massive game on Saturday if they want to advance to the second round. Does a chance for the LA Kings to close the series out at home sound too good to be true?

The Kings must travel to Edmonton for a Game 7 on Saturday. But, they have won two of three games on the road in this first-round playoff series.

His young team had come so close to winning the series, only to have to get on a plane and wait two days to try it again, This was an experience they could draw on, he said. There’s enough leadership in there and there’s a lot of proud guys in that room. “I don’t think I’m going to need to go in there and give them any type of let’s-win-one-for-the-Gipper-type speeches. The Kings couldn’t finish it off though, with a mistake leading to Tyson Barrie’s go-ahead goal on a slapshot from the top of the right faceoff circle with 4:50 to play. We’ll do whatever we need to do to be fresh and we’ll go up and try to win a game.” So it’s not like I have to walk in the [locker] room and sprinkle some pixie dust all over them to get them to play.

The LA Kings and Edmonton Oilers are one of three first-round matchups headed for a Game 7 on Saturday night.

Andreas Athanasiou didn’t have his best game on Thursday, to put it mildly. As has been the case all year, they struggled on the power-play. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a couple of lineup changes.

WHO: Ontario Reign (2-1) at Colorado Eagles (3-0) WHAT: 2022 CALDER CUP PLAYOFFS – Round 2, Game 2. WHEN: Friday, May 13 @ 6:05 PM Pacific

Ontario was unable to replicate that on Wednesday in Colorado, falling further behind as the game continued. “They’re a team that’s hungry and plays well in their own barn and we weren’t up to the challenge.” Middleton was awarded with the first star, posting points on all three of Colorado’s early goals to skate a lead right at the outset. It was a different story for Annunen against the Reign in the regular season however, as he went 1-1-0 in two appearances with a 0.814 save percentage. Deflections or tips made it hard for the Reign goaltenders to see shots coming their way, and loose rebounds were quickly scooped up by Eagles’ attackers with an aggressive mindset in the offensive zone. Three different skaters scored multiple goals in the series opener, and all but four skaters had at least a point, including forward Oskar Olausson, who earned a pair of assists in his professional debut. Thomas is expected to return for Game 2, which could mean a shuffle in the lineup. If they do that, they’ll be on a flight headed back to Southern California on Saturday with an opportunity to host the final three games of the series in their own building. Hrenak remained in between the pipes for the final 14:27 of the opening frame but allowed three goals of his own prompting the coaching staff to call back on Villalta to begin the second period. The Reign could go back to Villalta again for Game 2, or they could opt to give Hrenak a clean slate, which would be his first professional playoff start. While the teams finished even in shots on goal, with each club putting 35 chances to the net, Colorado jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the first 20 minutes and added on with two more goals in both the second and third periods. It started with the Reign falling into and early hole and spiraled quickly, prompting Assistant Coach Chris Hajt to declare, “Everything that could go wrong went wrong” after the game.
