After successfully defending their home ice, the Los Angeles will look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead against the Edmonton Oilers. In a flip of the script from last year's series, it's the Kings who are hitting 50% on the power play and are perfect on the penalty kill after two games. After going through stretches in the regular season where goals where hard to come by, LA has already lit the lamp 12 times heading into Game 3. The Kings have not led a playoff series 2-0 since the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals against the New York Rangers.
