NHL Nugget: Oilers And Kings' Goals Fest Set NHL Playoff Record This Day In 1982

Here's today's NHL Nugget – this Milestone Monday rewinds to April 7, 1982, when the Edmonton Oilers hosted the Los Angeles Kings in a wild first-round opener.

Both teams kicked off the playoffs with full throttle on offense. It was 4-3 for the Oilers after the first period and 8-6 for the Kings after the second.

The Kings won 10-8, but both teams set an NHL record no other teams matched since.
