Vladislav Gavrikov
The Los Angeles Kings in the last few playoff series with the Edmonton Oilers have struggled on the penalty kill and it has cost them some games over this time. This season, the Kings have ranked in the Top 10 in penalty kill with a penalty kill percentage of 81.4%.
One of the key parts of that penalty kill unit has been Vladislav Gavrikov, who has had a great season with the Kings but particularly done a great job on the penalty kill. He has led the Kings in penalty kill minutes with 250 according to Money Puck.
The Oilers had a power play percentage that was just outside the Top 10 at 23.7% but have one of the top players on the power play in Leon Draisaitl, who finished second in the league in power play goals with 16 along 17 power play assists. The Kings are going to need to be on top of their game and Gavrikov will be a big part of their success or lack thereof in this part of the game.
