As for Nino Niederreiter the day before with Winnipeg, the play-off page closed for Kevin Fiala. Los Angeles was eliminated like last year by Edmonton.
On the Oilers’ ice, the Kings lost 4-3 in Act V. Author of a double in the space of 4’37” in the second period to allow Edmonton to lead 3-2, Leon Deraisatl was man of the match. The German benefited on his two successes from an assist from Connor McDavid, the Oilers’ other key asset.
Author of an assist for the much too late 4-3 from the Swede Adrian Kempe 2’18” from the siren, Kevin Fiala has nothing to reproach himself for. The St. Gallois left the ice with a record of +2.
This elimination of the Kings, of course, serves the interests of the Swiss team. During the next world championship, in the person of Kevin Fiala, she will undoubtedly be able to count on an attacker who will have recorded 73 points in the regular season without forgetting the 2 registered in the play-off.
Still in the West, Vegas, the Stanley Cup holder, is one game away from elimination. Beaten 3-2 in Dallas, the Golden Knights are, in fact, trailing 3-2 in this series which they started with… two victories in Texas.
