Is this the season the Kings avenge years of playoff agony against Oilers?

LA Times  

The Kings have seen each of the last three seasons end in first-round playoff losses to the Edmonton Oilers. That made Saturday’s matinee at Crypto.com Arena, the first meeting of the season between the teams, an important measuring stick for the Kings and a chance to put down a marker against the Oilers, who could once again determine their fate next spring in Edmonton, right? “I don’t know,” Kings forward Phillip Danault shrugged before the game. Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner gives up the winning goal in overtime in front of Kings forward Phillip Danault on Saturday. The Kings, who have switched the way they play in the neutral zone and on the penalty kill since last season’s postseason debacle, also added seven players since their last meeting with the Oilers at the Crypt eight months ago.
