Anze Kopitar scores 2:07 into the extra period of Game 2 as the Kings defeat Edmonton to even their first-round series.
The NHL regular season is like an anthology of 82 stories, each with its own beginning, middle and end. The playoffs, however, are like a novel, each game a new chapter that builds on the last one. Kings coach Jim Hiller likes it that way. “We all love the playoffs because we play the game, you review the game, adjustments are made and you just keeps moving along,” he said. “From a coach's perspective, we all enjoy that part of the game, being able just to focus on a single team.
The sequence started with Kopitar stepping between two Oilers to force a turnover at the blue line, then skating up the left wing to feed a wide-open Kempe for a one-timer from the slot. Less than than six minutes later the Kings killed their first penalty of the night, which was equally significant since Edmonton was three for four on the power play in Game 1.
