Kempe scored two goals on eight shots, added two power-play assists, doled out three hits and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Kempe already has seven points over two playoff games, and he's earned five goals and 11 assists over his last six contests dating back to April 10. The 28-year-old had five points over four regular-season matchups versus the Oilers, so his success in this first-round series shouldn't come as a surprise. Kempe's recent success makes him a premium option for Friday's DFS slate.

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

Kempe recorded an even-strength goal and two power-play assists in Monday's 5-0 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
