Going into Kings vs Oilers Game 2, the Edmonton Oilers hold a 1-0 series lead over the Kings. The first game between these teams was a thriller, as Edmonton scored seven goals in their 7-4 victory on home ice. Now, the Oilers will look to grab a 2-0 series lead with another win at home, while the Kings will look to claw a game back to even this series before it goes to Los Angeles for the first time.
The reality of the situation coming into this game is that this is just not a very good matchup for the LA Kings. Los Angeles is a team that hangs its hat on the defensive end of the ice. But the Oilers are a team that is just too explosive for most teams to contain in the world of hockey. Look for the Oilers to continue firing on all cylinders offensively and for the home team to take a 2-0 series lead when the final buzzer sounds in Edmonton on Wednesday night.
