Simulating Kings vs. Oilers in NHL 24
Can the Los Angeles Kings rebound after a Game 1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers? We simulated Game 2 in NHL 24 to see if they could.
In our Oilers-Kings series simulation the Oilers took the series in seven games.
In this simulation Edmonton had no answer for the Byfield-Kopitar-Kempe line as the three players combined for nine points, including all four Kings goals.

Kempe notched a hat trick, scoring all three goals different ways. Cam Talbot posted a shutout and did not face many high-danger chances, his best save came on Sam Carrick with 15 seconds left in the game.
The Oilers could not get anything going offensively, and Stuart Skinner did not bail them out in goal.
The Kings shutting out the Oilers tonight after giving up seven goals in Game 1 would be quite a turnaround, but NHL 24 thinks it could happen.
