The Los Angeles Kings have made history in the Stanley Cup playoffs by taking a 2-0 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers, marking their first time achieving this feat in their postseason history. The Kings dominated Game 2 with a score of 6-2, featuring standout performances from Adrian Kempe, who netted two goals, and contributions from Brandt Clarke, Quinton Byfield, Andrei Kuzmenko, and Anze Kopitar, all of whom scored, with Clarke and Kuzmenko capitalizing on power plays.

Despite the Oilers' Leon Draisaitl and Viktor Arvidsson finding the net, Edmonton has struggled offensively, now trailing 12-7 in goals across both games. The Kings' power play was effective, scoring five times in the first two games while limiting Edmonton to a scoreless performance on their own power plays. The Kings will have to carry this momentum on the road, with Game 3 scheduled for Friday in Edmonton.
