| Byfield coming of age for Kings in playoffs after breakout season |
| Expectations were high for Quinton Byfield when he was selected by the Los Angeles Kings with the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. It may have taken time for the Newmarket, Ontario, native to gain traction in the NHL, but he is developing into the forward the Kings envisioned when they took him after Alexis Lafrenière went No. 1 to the New York Rangers. The Kings play the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Western Conference First Round at Crypto.com Arena on Friday (10:30 p.m. ET; MAX, TBS, BSW, TVAS2, SN) after Byfield helped them tie the best-of-7 series 1-1. |

| With home ice on the horizon, the LA Kings are an excited and confident group heading into Game 3 |
| Consider the LA Kings fired up to be heading home. And for good reason. For starters, it's always exciting for teams to play playoff hockey on home ice. “I've thought ever since the All-Star break, our fans have taken it to another level,” Head Coach Jim Hiller said. “The last goal, when Kempe scored the overtime winner against Chicago, I think that was the loudest I've ever heard the building, so I would expect when we get back there for it to be rocking and rolling. That definitely gives our guys a boost.” Quinton Byfield was fired up too after the game. He was quite complementary of the atmosphere in Edmonton – which was admittedly excellent, as it always is – but said he expects it to be |

| Kings relying on veterans as series vs. Oilers moves to L.A. |
| Fresh off a resilient victory that changed the course of their first-round Western Conference playoff series, the Los Angeles Kings return home for Game 3 on Friday against the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings evened the best-of-seven series at a game apiece Wednesday when they took a pair of two-goal leads, weathered an Oilers comeback and won the game 5-4 a mere two minutes into overtime on the most fortunate of goals from Anze Kopitar. If there was anybody that knew hope remained after a 7-4 defeat in the series opener, it was Kings veterans Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. An 18-year Kings stalwart, Kopitar added a pair of assists, both on first-period goals from eight-year mainstay Kempe as Los Angeles dictated the early play. |

| Kings leaned on veteran strength to even series with Oilers |
| The Kings simply set out to win a playoff series for the first time in a decade, but they've already created themes of resilience, reversal and retribution as they evened their matchup and pickpocketed home ice from the talent-rich Oilers ahead of Friday's Game 3 at home. “The players of that caliber, they just understand the game and they process the game so fast, you can only marvel at it,” Kings interim coach Jim Hiller said. |

| Chaotic Oilers net-front scrum in Game 2 looks a lot like a classic painting |
| The Edmonton Oilers unintentionally helped to imitate a classic piece of art during a chaotic moment in the first period of last night's 5-4 OT loss to the LA Kings in Game 2. While down 2-0 and pushing for their first goal of the game, Adam Henrique threw a puck toward Kings goaltender Cam Talbot that somehow squeaked past him and caused everyone on the ice to pile into the crease. While Connor McDavid threw his hands up, thinking the puck had gone into the net, the play was reviewed, and it was determined there was no goal on the play. One account on X (@ArtButSports) was able to somehow make the connection between an overhead photo of the scrum and a 1957 painting by Joan Mitchell. |

| Defiant Drew Doughty puts Connor McDavid, Oilers on notice after Kings' Game 2 thriller |
| The Los Angeles Kings picked up a vital 5-4 overtime win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the first round, and defenseman Drew Doughty was a big part of the win to tie up the series at 1-1. The Kings' performance in the 7-4 loss in Game 1 did not sit well with the team's captain. “That was huge,” Drew Doughty said, via Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. The veteran Doughty led all skaters with 29:07 minutes of ice time in the game, going up against Oilers superstar Connor McDavid, which is always a tall order for anyone. |

| Angeles Analysis - Game 2 |
| In the end there was something almost inevitable about how this one was going to end. Or rather, something inevitable about who was going to be involved in bringing about the ending. And sure enough, even though Mikey Anderson would later admit it was a terrible pass, and Quinton Byfield admitted that he was just trying to get his stick on the puck so it wasn't going to be icing, all of a sudden there was LA Kings captain Anze Kopitar gathering in the loose puck in the Edmonton zone, skating in alone and snapping the puck home past Edmonton netminder Stuart Skinner to secure a 5-4 overtime win for the Kings. “I was like come on please go in,” Byfield said after. “I was praying. But you know, |

| Stars waited late to find out they get playoff rematch against the defending Stanley Cup champions |
| Tyler Seguin got sidetracked on his way to bed when he checked the scores from the two games on the West Coast that would determine who the Dallas Stars would face in the first round of the NHL playoffs. “I went in the living room just to see what was going on,” Seguin said in the Stars locker room Friday. Matt Duchene was watching as well from his home late Thursday night, and kept waking up his wife to tell her who the Stars would be playing. |

| LA Kings rally late, finish 3rd in the Pacific Division with a 5-4 overtime victory over Chicago |
| Viktor Arvidsson scored the tying goal with 1:21 left in regulation, and the Los Angeles Kings earned a playoff rematch with Edmonton by jumping into third place in the Pacific Division with a 5-4 overtime victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night. The Kings’ comeback and the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights’ loss to Anaheim propelled Los Angeles into a third straight postseason meeting with the Oilers, who beat the Kings in both of their previous two first-round matchups. |
