Evander Kane has two goals and an assist, Connor McDavid has two assists and Edmonton bounces back with a 6-0 win. Game 3 is Friday night in L.A.
While the Kings’ first playoff game since 2018 was fit to be saved for posterity, Game 2 might have been better suited for the incinerator.
Quick stopped 30 shots, but only twice this season did he surrender as many goals in a game as he did in this one. Just over three minutes into the closing period, Edmonton had cushioned its advantage with two goals in 21 seconds, first by a fluke and then with a flourish. After failing to score on a second power play, they extended their lead while shorthanded off the rush less than five minutes after their first goal. As Kane drove the middle, McDavid sent a cross-ice pass to Nurse, who scored off a wrist shot from nearly the same spot from which Draisaitl tallied earlier in the stanza. It was Nurse’s first postseason goal in 23 games.
