Prediction for the NHL Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers match which will take place on April 22nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

The Kings won back in the last minute of regular time and took the victory in overtime in the previous game. But in fact, Todd McLellan's team just made the maximum. Therefore, Los Angeles, losing 0-2 in both meetings in Edmonton, continued to play defensive hockey. The Oilers can always create chances at their gates, so the Kings played back both in the first match of the series and in the second, taking the most crucial victory in one of the two games.

The Oilers led with a two-goal difference in both meetings of this series but lost to Los Angeles in overtime (3:4). Then they almost missed the advantage again. As expected, Edmonton is waiting for a challenging series. Given the opponent's game's discipline and organization, the Kings will wait for their chance until the last. In addition, Todd McLellan has those who can make life as difficult as possible for the Oilers.

Edmonton is having a tough time in this series – the Kings and the Oilers went through only seven games last season, and now the Kings have become even stronger, being the most uncomfortable competitor in terms of playing style for McDavid and CO. Jay Woodcroft's team may experience problems in the first away match. Los Angeles is the best team in the West regarding games at home this season and they can resist the Oilers, achieving a victory. Moreover, as the first two games showed, the Kings have the resources to play effectively against the leaders.
