Excuse the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings for feeling a case of deja vu heading into Game 2 of their Stanley Cup playoff series on Wednesday in Edmonton.The Kings are coming off a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory in the opener of their Western Conference first-round meeting. Last year, the clubs also met in the opening round, and the Kings won Game 1 by the same score.”The past doesn’t predict the future,” said Oilers captain Connor McDavid, who was held off the scoresheet on Monday. “I liked what we did last year in Game 2, I thought we’ve played well in Game 2s historically, but I don’t think that means a whole lot come puck drop on Wednesday. It’s a big one for us and I would like to see some urgency.”Last year, the Oilers responded from losing Game 1 at home by claiming a pair of lopsided victories, 6-0 and 8-2, and won the best-of-seven series that went the distance.The Oilers appeared in control of Monday’s game when they held a 3-1 lead past the midway point of the third period. Then a pair of late Los Angeles goals, including Anze Kopitar’s tally with 16.7 seconds remaining in regulation, forced overtime, and Alex Iafallo became the hero with the winner.”In the moment, it’s frustrating. … The nice thing about playoff hockey is you can get right back at it,” Oilers forward Zach Hyman said. “You’ve got to be able to temper emotions.”Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner, who called his NHL playoff debut “average,” said it was actually a positive lesson for him to experience the disappointment of a loss but awake the next morning and realize it is in the past.”It’s a good thing that I was able to go through that, because now I am a better man for it,” Skinner said.The Kings know full well they will see a better Oilers team, but they can take solace in how they improved as the opener continued. Edmonton staked a 2-0 first-period lead, but the Kings gained momentum.
