Kempe had an even-strength goal and two power-play assists in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

Kempe ended the regular season on a four-game point streak, a span in which he racked up nine points (two goals, seven helpers), and he didn't slow things down in this playoff opener. As a member of the first line in both even strength and the power play, Kempe should remain one of the Kings' go-to scoring weapons -- especially if he's able to keep this impressive point streak going. He's tallied 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in nine contests dating back to April 1.

Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

Kuzmenko also added five shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in this outing while leading the Kings in total points. The left winger finished the regular season on a tear with 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) over his final 10 contests, and he seems to be translating that form into the playoffs. The Kings will certainly need him at his best if they want to get past the challenge of the Oilers.

Fiala recorded a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

Fiala, who also recorded six shots, three hits and a plus-2 rating in addition to his two-point effort, was deadly in the power play. He assisted on Andrei Kuzmenko's opener just 2:49 into the first period, and he later gave the Kings a transitory 5-2 lead at the 4:59 mark of the final frame. Fiala is translating the solid play he evidenced in the final stages of the regular season into the playoffs. He racked up 10 points (seven goals, three helpers) over his final eight regular-season appearances. The 28-year-old should continue to find ample opportunities to keep producing due to his top-six role in the lineup.

Danault scored two goals and racked up three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

Danault was the hero for the Kings in this series opener, as he came through in the final seconds of the third period to give Los Angeles the win after the team blew up a four-goal lead. Danault is not expected to be a go-to scoring option for the Kings on a regular basis, however, as evidenced by the fact that he found the back of the net a mere eight times in 80 regular-season appearances. That said, he was at the right place at the right time to propel the Kings to victory in this high-scoring matchup.

Byfield recorded a goal, an assist, three shots and three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

Byfield was one of several Los Angeles players who recorded a multi-point performance in this series opener, and he made his presence felt in the latter stages of both the first and second periods. He doubled the Kings' lead at the 19:27 mark of the first frame with a wrister past Stuart Skinner, and he later set up Phillip Danault's first marker to give the Kings a four-goal cushion. Byfield recorded 54 points (23 goals, 31 assists) across 81 regular-season contests, and he figures to have plenty of opportunities to produce in the playoffs due to his top-six role in the lineup.

Perry recorded a goal, an assist and two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.

Perry found the back of the net with his lone shot of the game and also showed physicality, although that can be expected considering all the postseason experience the 39-year-old has. Perry isn't likely to be among the go-to scoring options for Edmonton, but he did post solid numbers in the regular season. His 30 points (19 goals, 11 assists) across 81 appearances were his best output since the 2021-22 campaign, when he finished with 40 points in 82 games.

Draisaitl recorded a goal, an assist, four shots and two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.

Draisaitl stepped on the ice for the first time since April 3 after missing the Oilers' final seven regular-season contests due to an undisclosed injury. Still, he didn't miss a beat and found the back of the net in the dying stages of the second period. The star winger led the NHL in goals in the regular season with 52 and finished with 106 points across 71 appearances, so there's no doubt he'll play a massive role alongside Connor McDavid as the Oilers' go-to offensive weapons throughout the rest of the series.

McDavid recorded a goal, three assists, three shots and five hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.

McDavid found the back of the net for the first time since March 18, but not even his four-point performance was enough to lift the Oilers to victory in this series opener. McDavid has been displaying unmatched consistency, though. He's recorded at least a point in each of his past 18 appearances, dating back to Feb. 23, notching 33 points (five goals, 28 assists) over that span. His play will be a huge factor in whether the Oilers manage to advance past this first-round series or not.

Skinner stopped 24 of 30 shots in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.

Skinner had been fantastic against the Kings in the regular season, going 1-0-1 with a 1.95 GAA and a .932 save percentage, but that wasn't the case in this series opener. The 26-year-old netminder posted an .896 save percentage in 51 regular-season appearances, representing the lowest mark of his three full years in the league, and there's no question he'll need to bounce back in the upcoming games of the series to avoid putting all the pressure on the offense.

Kuemper stopped 20 of 25 shots in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

Kuemper was beaten four times in the final period, and at one point, it looked as if the Oilers were carrying all the momentum on their side heading to overtime until Phillip Danault stepped up and won it for the Kings. This was far from Kuemper's best outing, but there's a chance this was nothing more than an anomaly for the 34-year-old goaltender. After all, he posted a 31-11-7 record with a 2.02 GAA and a solid .921 save percentage across 50 appearances in the regular season.
