Edmonton Oilers at Los Angeles Kings Preview & Picks

Edmonton are tipped to bounce back from a surprise Game 2 defeat.

The Oilers have largely owned Los Angeles in recent times despite that defeat, so we are chalking up Wednesday's loss as a 'one-off'.

  • Edmonton Oilers are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings with Los Angeles
  • Edmonton Oilers are 3-1 in their last 4 road games against Los Angeles
  • The Over has hit in the the first two games of this series
  • The Over has cashed in 4 of Edmonton's last 5 games

Head To Head

  • Edmonton Oilers won the regular season series 3-1
  • This NHL Playoff series is tied 1-1
  • Los Angeles Kings won 5-4 in overtime when the two teams last met on April 24

Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton head to Los Angeles looking to issue an immediate response to a Game 2 defeat that locked the series at 1-1.

The Oilers compiled a 49-27-6 record in the regular season to secure second place in the Pacific Division.

They ended the regular season in poor form though, losing four of their final five games to miss out on the division crown.

Edmonton put that behind them in their postseason opener though, beating Los Angeles 7-4 to take an early series lead.

However, the Oilers failed to make home advantage count in the second matchup, as they fell to a 5-4 defeat in overtime.

Los Angeles Kings Form

Los Angeles go into their first home game of the series with the chance to get ahead for the first time.

The Kings secured their place in the playoffs by putting together a 44-27-11 record to finish third in the Pacific Division.

They wrapped up the regular season in good form too, winning three of their final four games to build some steam ahead of the postseason.

Los Angeles fell to defeat in their opening playoff game though, giving up a bunch of goals as they were beaten 7-4 in Edmonton.

The Kings responded well though, and this time they came out on top in a high-scoring encounter, beating the Oilers 5-4 in overtime.

Verdict

Los Angeles won last time out, but history suggests they are unlikely to follow it up.

Edmonton have been stacking up wins against the Kings in recent seasons, so we are backing the Oilers to bounce back.
