The Los Angeles Kings faced disappointment once again, falling to the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. The series concluded with a 6-4 loss in Game 6 at Rogers Place, a venue that has become a nightmare for the Kings. Despite a strong regular season, where they tied franchise records with 48 wins and 105 points, their postseason performance failed to deliver.

During the decisive Game 6, Quinton Byfield, Brandt Clarke, Jordan Spence, and Anze Kopitar scored for the Kings while the Oilers saw contributions from Adam Henrique, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Darnell Nurse, Trent Frederic, and Connor Brown. The Kings started strong with Byfield scoring just 79 seconds into the game, but they could not maintain their lead against the high-octane offense of Edmonton. The loss leaves the Kings searching for answers as they prepare for next season.
