Clarke put Los Angeles ahead 1-0 at 8:44 of the first period on the power play. Warren Foegele entered the offensive zone with speed and made a centering pass from the left circle to a charging Clarke coming into the crease to score. It was his first career Stanley Cup Playoff goal and point in three games.

Quinton Byfield made it 2-0 at 4:14 of the second period, taking the puck off the side boards and cutting through the right circle before lifting a quick wrist shot over Skinner’s glove.

The Kings went up 3-0 at 10:37 on Kuzmenko’s second power-play goal of the series. Kempe’s slap shot from the blue line went wide and caromed back off the end boards to Kuzmenko just outside the crease to shoot into an open net.

Draisaitl cut it to 3-1 at 13:54 by chipping in John Klingberg’s pass from just below the right circle.

Arvidsson got the Oilers within 3-2 at 4:05 of the third period when he redirected Brett Kulak’s slap shot.

Kempe responded to make it 4-2 at 6:46. Arvidsson whiffed while playing the puck in his own zone, allowing Kopitar to find Kempe alone in the right circle for a wrist shot.

Kopitar pushed it to 5-2 at 9:07 on a one-timer from the left circle set up by Kevin Fiala on the power play.

Kempe scored his second goal of the game, beating Pickard short side with a wrist shot from the left circle for the 6-2 final at 11:09.
