Los Angeles will have home-ice advantage in the Western Conference First Round against Edmonton, which will finish as the No. 3 seed from the Pacific. This will be the fourth straight season the two teams have met in the first round (Oilers won first three)

Adrian Kempe had a goal and two assists, and Kevin Fiala and Warren Foegele each had a goal and an assist for the Kings (47-24-9), who have won three in a row and seven of their past eight. Darcy Kuemper made 16 saves before being pulled midway through the third period for David Rittich, who stopped all five shots he faced.

Calvin Pickard made 31 saves for the Oilers (47-29-5), who had won three in a row and were playing without forwards Connor McDavaid, Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman, as well as defensemen Mattias Ekholm and Jake Walman.

Foegele put the Kings ahead 1-0 at 2:55 of the first period, tapping in a shot at the right post after his initial redirection of Phillip Danault’s shot caromed back off the end boards.

Quinton Byfield made it 2-0 on the power play at 9:26, deflecting Kempe’s shot from the point in the high slot. It was Byfield’s fourth straight game with a goal.

However, Byfield left the game late in the second period after getting hauled to the ice and cross-checked in the back of the helmet by Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse, who was assessed a game misconduct on the play.

Vladislav Gavrikov extended the lead to 3-0 at 18:45 of the first. He received a cross-ice pass from Trevor Moore as the trailer on a rush and beat Pickard’s glove from the top of the left circle.

Fiala made it 4-0 on the power play at 7:43 of the second period, burying a one-timer glove side from the right circle after taking a cross-ice pass from Kempe. Fiala has five goals in his past three games.

Kempe pushed the lead to 5-0 at 8:13 of the third period, taking a cross-slot pass from Anze Kopitar on a 2-on-1 rush and sending a shot past Pickard’s glove.
