‘You’ve got to start writing your story right from the very first puck drop,’ team captain Anze Kopitar said.
EL SEGUNDO –– Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but heavier still are those hung in disappointment, so the Kings are able to look to the sky as they prepare for their first postseason appearance in four years.
For Edmonton’s part, they’ll be looking to advance to the second round for the first time since 2017 and just the second time during the careers of their two Hart Trophy winners, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. For all McDavid’s speed, he has yet to out-skate the long shadow of Edmonton’s dynasty that captured five Stanley cups in seven seasons between 1984 and 1990.
“We’ve been in every situation this year. We’ve won seven in a row, we’ve lost in a row. We’ve bounced back after a loss, we’ve won some tight games,” center Phillip Danault said. “It’s a big learning year for all of us, especially the young guys and it’s still a lot of learning in the playoffs. It’s going to be a nice challenge for all of us and I can’t wait to see how we react.”
Head to head, Edmonton captured three of four regular-season meetings. That doesn’t bode well for the Kings statistically, as over the past 10 campaigns the regular-season series winners have gone 59-34 in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
