Previous Games:

  • Kings: Lead the series 2-1, lost 7-4 in Game 3

  • Oilers: Strong 7-4 victory in Game 3, staying alive in the series

Head-to-Head:

Los Angeles started the series strong, but the Oilers bounced back in Game 3, showing their offensive power led by the dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Edmonton’s ability to score in bunches makes them a tough opponent for any team, including the Kings.

Los Angeles Kings Breakdown:

The Kings had an explosive offense early on, but they were overwhelmed defensively in Game 3. Despite the loss, Los Angeles has had strong scoring from Adrian Kempe and Anze Kopitar, while goaltender Darcy Kuemper has been solid. The Kings will need to tighten up defensively and take better advantage of their power play, which has been shaky. Their defense has been strong overall, but they can’t afford to be as vulnerable as they were in Game 3. They’ll be looking to bounce back and extend their series lead.

Key Players:

  • Adrian Kempe: 35 goals, 38 assists

  • Anze Kopitar: 46 assists

  • Darcy Kuemper: 2.02 GAA, .922 SV%

Edmonton Oilers Breakdown:

Edmonton’s offensive machine, led by McDavid and Draisaitl, was firing on all cylinders in Game 3. The Oilers have been scoring at a high rate, and their power play remains a threat. Stuart Skinner, despite some inconsistencies, will likely get the start in Game 4. Missing key defensive pieces like Mattias Ekholm hurts the Oilers' defensive depth, but they’re still one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the league. With the home ice advantage, Edmonton will look to tie the series and gain momentum.

Key Players:

  • Connor McDavid: 74 assists

  • Leon Draisaitl: 52 goals

  • Stuart Skinner: 2.81 GAA

Betting Trends:

Los Angeles Kings:

  • 10-3 in their last 13 games

  • The total has gone OVER in their last 5 games

Edmonton Oilers:

  • 4-1 in their last 5 home games

  • The total has gone UNDER in 9 of their last 13 games

Exact Score Prediction:

Edmonton Oilers 5 – Los Angeles Kings 3

Our Best Bet:

Edmonton Oilers -135
Edmonton’s offense, led by McDavid and Draisaitl, should prove to be too much for the Kings, especially at home. With better special teams and the momentum from Game 3, expect the Oilers to even the series in Game 4.
