The Los Angeles Kings scored a huge road win on Friday night in Edmonton, topping the Oilers 4-1 at Rexall Place to take sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division. The Kings are seeking their first division crown in 21 years, and have four games left to get it done.
There are four teams separated by a total of two points. The winner of the division will claim the third seed in the Western Conference, while one and perhaps two teams could miss out on the playoffs entirely. Here is a look at the updated Pacific Division standings through games of Friday night:
