After jumping out to a 2-0 series lead, the Kings lose Game 6 and are eliminated by the Oilers the first round of the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.

Trent Frederic had a goal and an assist and the defending Western Conference-champion Edmonton Oilers moved into the second round of the playoffs with a 6-4 win over the Los Angeles Kings.

The Kings had a 2-0 series lead and home-ice advantage, but they could not sustain that momentum and Edmonton won its fourth straight game, 6-4, to send them into another offseason of what-ifs.
