EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers eliminated the Los Angeles Kings with a 6-4 win in Game 6 of the Western Conference First Round at Rogers Place on Thursday. The Oilers, who won the final four games of the series, have eliminated the Kings in the first round in four consecutive seasons.

The Kings haven’t won a Game 6 to stave off elimination since 2014. That’s when they beat San Jose in the first round to cap off a stunning reverse sweep after being down 3-0 in the series. They also beat the Anaheim Ducks in the second round after trailing 3-2. That championship year remains their last set of playoff series victories.

The Edmonton Oilers took down the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, earning their fourth straight series win over Los Angeles. Entering the series, many expected the Kings to finally move past the Oilers, and for the first two games, it seemed like that would happen.
