Los Angeles Kings Form

Los Angeles head back to Edmonton knowing this is a 'must-win' game following back-to-back home defeats.

The Kings earned their place in the postseason by compiling a 44-27-11 record to finish third in the Pacific Division.

They ended the regular season in good form too, winning three of their final four games, but made a losing start to the playoffs as they were betane 7-4 in Edmonton.

Los Angeles responded to that setback with a 5-4 overtime win, but they were unable to build on that when they returned home for Games 3 and 4.

The Kings were blown out 6-1 by Edmonton, and then suffered a 1-0 defeat that has left them 3-1 down in the series.

Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton return home with an opportunity to clinch the series after winning the last two games in Los Angeles.

The Oilers put together a 49-27-6 record in the regular season to claim second place in the Pacific Division and a spot in the playoffs.

They ended the regular season in poor form, losing four of their final five games, but put that behind them to beat Los Angeles 7-4 in the series opener.

Edmonton failed to follow that up as they dropped the second meeting, 5-4 in overtime, but they responded in the best possible.

The Oilers went out on the road and cruised to a 6-1 victory in Game 3, and then downed the Kings 1-0 in Game 4 to take a 3-1 series lead.

Verdict

Edmonton are in control of this series and have repeatedly beaten Los Angeles in recent times, so we are expecting a home win here.
