The Golden Knights, who are the No. 1 seed from the Pacific Division, will have home-ice advantage in the best-of-7 series against the Kings, the No. 2 seed from the Pacific, or the Oilers, the No. 3 seed. Edmonton leads that series 3-2, with Game 6 later Thursday.

Three of the six games in the series went into overtime, with Los Angeles winning two of those three contests. The series became tied at two games apiece, before Edmonton outscored Los Angeles 11-7 in the final two games. Stuart Skinner shined in net, saving 65 shots across Games 5 and 6.

Connor Brown scored once in a three-point game and the Edmonton Oilers advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, again at the expense of the Los Angeles Kings, thanks to a 6-4 home-ice victory in Game 6 on Thursday.
