Vancouver

Vancouver faced Nashville in the first round of the playoffs. It was pretty clear that the Canucks were going to beat the Predators, and they did just that. After the first few games, the score was tied at 1-1. But then the Canucks took the lead, winning the next two matches (2-1 and 4-3 in overtime). At 3-1 in the series, they had the chance to finish the series at home, but their opponent was really strong. The series ended in the sixth game, where Vancouver won on the road (1:0).

Edmonton

Edmonton also had an opponent in the first round of the playoffs who was noticeably weaker than him during the regular season. Clearly, the Oilers would have no problem taking care of Los Angeles. They only had five games to do it, by the way. In the second match, the Kings stopped McDavid's squad in overtime. But after that, they conceded six goals (6-1), then there was a 1-0 shutout, and in the final, Edmonton won 4-3.

Expert Betting Tips

In the first game of this series, we're betting on Edmonton. McDavid and Draisaitl are on fire right now, heading for the Stanley Cup like a train. The Oilers absolutely dominated the Kings, showcasing a solid offensive performance. We must admit that Vancouver didn't look as convincing in the series with Nashville, and we must also consider the goaltending. So, Edmonton is the favorite.
