FIRST PERIOD

2:41: Yamamoto draws a cross-checking call to give Edmonton another PP chance!

4:33: Oilers get their first shot of the game on that power play, trailing 3-1 in shots, but can’t convert. We’re 0-for-10 on the PP against the Kings this year.

6:33: Byfield trips Bouchard for a penalty and then a scrum ensues, with Durzi grabbing McDavid and everyone grabbing a partner after Roy shoved Nugent-Hopkins. It’ll remain an Oilers power play.

13:27: Kempe misses the net on a breakaway!
