The victory also pulled the Kings back into a tie with Edmonton for second in the Pacific Division, ahead of the Oilers’ game against Seattle late Saturday.

The Kings have been eliminated in the playoffs in the first round in each of the last three seasons — and each time they opened the postseason on the road in Edmonton.

Bids from Kuala Lumpur, Cardiff, Calgary, Edmonton and Adelaide to host the 2026 Games were withdrawn because of concerns over costs, leaving it without a host until Victoria stepped in in 2023.

But after being eliminated by Edmonton in the first round in each of the last three postseasons, simply getting to the playoffs is no longer enough.

After additional stops in Cleveland, Foxborough, Mass., and Toronto, the tour is slated to conclude Sept. 13 after two nights at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Canada.
