The Los Angeles Kings will play the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Los Angeles (46-24-9) is second in the Pacific Division and leads Edmonton (46-28-5) by four points with three games remaining for each team. The team that finishes higher will have home-ice advantage in the best-of-7 series.

Mattias Ekholm and Zach Hyman both exited the game early, and head coach Kris Knoblauch acknowledged that one of the two might not be available when the playoffs begin on April 19.
