At the end of the regular season, Edmonton gave themselves some time off. This is confirmed by one win and four losses in the last five games, with a total score of 15:18. Because of this series of failures, the Oilers finished fifth in the Western Conference standings, and they could have fought for a spot in the top three. In the previous two games, the Oilers lost to Arizona (2:5) and then to Colorado (1:5).
LA Kings
Los Angeles, on the other hand, looked more confident in the last five games of the past regular season. The Kings managed to add six points to their asset by beating Calgary (4:1), Anaheim (3:1) and Chicago (5:4 including overtime). Thus, the Kings finally secured their place in the playoff zone and finished in seventh place in the Western Conference standings, one point ahead of bottom-ranked Vegas.
Expert Betting Tips
In our opinion, Edmonton has more chances for a successful start in the series. The Oilers didn't work hard at the end of the regular season, but it doesn't matter much. The Oilers look great in their home arena. They have won 11 of their last 15 games there. LA can boast only seven victories during this period of time. Also note that in four of the last five head-to-head meetings, Edmonton has been stronger. In general, we'll bet on the home team not losing, reinforcing the odds with a higher total with a margin.
