Kings Eliminated by Oilers as NHL Fans Hail Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl Dominance

For the third straight season, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl ensured the Los Angeles Kings didn't make it past the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Kings were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers Thursday night after McDavid and Draisaitl dominated in a 4-3 Game 5 victory.

After Alex Laferriere took advantage of a fortunate carom off the boards to tie the score late in the first period, Blake Lizotte put the Kings ahead in the second.

Los Angeles got to enjoy that lead for fewer than five minutes before Draisaitl took over.
