Edmonton Oilers Eliminated by Los Angeles Kings in Game 6
Holloway's Goal Not Enough to Overcome Kings' Offensive Outburst
Oilers Fall Short in Bid for Three-Peat
Los Angeles, Calif. - The Edmonton Oilers' quest for a three-peat came to an end on Wednesday night as they were eliminated by the Los Angeles Kings in Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinal series. Despite a valiant effort, the Oilers fell short, losing 5-3 at Crypto.com Arena.
The Kings scored early and often, taking a 3-0 lead in the first period. The Oilers clawed back with goals from Kailer Yamamoto and Zach Hyman, but the Kings extended their lead to 4-2 in the second period. Jesse Puljujarvi brought the Oilers within one goal late in the third period, but the Kings held on for the victory.
Holloway's goal in the third period gave the Oilers a glimmer of hope, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Kings' offensive outburst. The Kings outshot the Oilers 36-29 and were led by Trevor Moore, who scored two goals and added an assist. Anze Kopitar also had a strong game for the Kings, scoring a goal and setting up another.
The Oilers will now have to regroup and prepare for next season. They will be hoping to bounce back from this disappointing playoff exit and make another run at the Stanley Cup.
