LOS ANGELES — The Edmonton Oilers know how to perform when they're facing playoff series deficits. After all, they went down 0-3 last summer in the Stanley Cup Final and still nearly won it all in Game 7.

On Wednesday night, the Kings inched closer to eliminating Edmonton after a 6-5 victory in Game 2 of the series at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. It was the second game in a row that the Oilers gave up six goals to the Kings, prompting concerns among Edmonton supporters about the team's goaltending.

A 6-2 Game 2 loss to the LA Kings has put the Oilers in a fragile position heading back to the Alberta capital with a 2-0 series deficit. It’s the first time in the last four seasons that Edmonton has allowed the Kings to gain a multi-game lead, and they are now in danger of going down 3-0 on home ice.
