My guess is the Kings probably decided to shoot it in more than usual Asa strategy, then clog up the middle...and eventually Smith would cough one up. Also if you watch the replay there's an Oiler well past the red line waiting for the pass.
As mentioned, after his breakaway pass to McDavid not long ago, that's likely a planned play, but some Kings scouting keeps an extra player upnthe middle to prevent they or take advantage of that.
