Connor Brown had a goal and two assists as the Edmonton Oilers punched their ticket to the second round of the playoffs with a 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.

The Edmonton Oilers took down the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, earning their fourth straight series win over Los Angeles. Entering the series, many expected the Kings to finally move past the Oilers, and for the first two games, it seemed like that would happen.

Once Connor Brown deposited the puck into the empty Los Angeles net and rejoiced, the Kings milled about the ice in a dazed and confused state. Drew Doughty bent over. Kevin Fiala took a knee. Anze Kopitar and Andrei Kuzmenko slowly skated in circles.
