Game 2 is in the books, and it’s one the Oilers would like to forget. On today’s edition of Oilersnation Everyday, Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin break down a rough night in Los Angeles as the Kings dominated the Oilers at Crypto.com Arena, skating away with a 6-2 win and a 2-0 lead in the series.

Kris Knoblauch’s decision to go nuclear—loading up the top line with both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl—backfired, as the Oilers struggled to generate any sustained offense when their stars weren’t on the ice. Stuart Skinner had another difficult outing, giving up five goals on 28 shots before being pulled in the third period in favour of Calvin Pickard. While there were some positives—like the season debut of Evander Kane—it wasn’t enough to flip the script in Game 2.

We’ll go through our scoring summary, hand out our one big take from the night, and ask our Sherwood Ford Giant Question: Who should start in net for Game 3 when the series shifts back to Edmonton?

Later in the show, we’ll be joined by Steve Peters, telestration producer for ESPN and a long-time NHL analyst, to break down the first two games of the series. He’ll share his thoughts on the Oilers' decision to go nuclear, what’s gone wrong in LA, and the ongoing question marks in Edmonton’s crease.

The pressure is mounting as the Oilers head back to Rogers Place—can they turn it around on home ice? Tune in for a full breakdown and a look ahead to Game 3.
