Edmonton Oilers find themselves in hole early in Game 2 against the Los Angeles Kings.

EDMONTON -- Game two isn't starting the way the Edmonton Oilers wanted.

The Los Angeles Kings opened the scoring 3:19 into the opening frame. Adrian Kempe sniped a shot past Stuart Skinner - bringing a silence among the crowd.

The Oilers have played well for the most part - they just can't give Kempe the time and space to take those shots.

Just under 12 minutes later the Kings increased their lead to two on a goal from none other than Kempe... again. 

The Oilers need to find a way to slow Kempe down and close the gap on him hard - to prevent him from taking time and space to get his lethal shot on net.
