Adrian Kempe’s high-scoring season also continues in the Stanley Cup playoffs, where his Los Angeles Kings face the Edmonton Oilers.
The 27-year-old Swede scored two new goals as the Los Angeles Kings tied the round of 16 series against Edmonton at 1-1 in games.
Kempe’s 2-0 goal was the delicacy of the game, where he volleyed the puck in behind a chanceless Stuart Skinner in the Edmonton goal.
– That is an incredible goal, check that touch, says the commentator.
Los Angeles eventually won 5-4 after Anze Kopitar scored in overtime.
Kempe, who with 75 points in 77 regular season games scored his career best season, has now scored four points (two goals and two assists) in the first two playoff games.
The next match between the teams is played in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
