LiontipsCalgary vs Edmonton. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL playoffs (May 21, 2022).
Command Analysis
The Calgary Flames finally realized their attacking potential in the first quarterfinal game - the team crushed Edmonton with a score of 9:6. Almost every player of the Flames earned points in that battle. In the first round of the playoffs, Dallas didn't allow Calgary to score that many goals, and the Flames won mostly due to their outstanding defensive performance.
The Edmonton Oilers faced Los Angeles in the round of 16 and were considered clear favorites. But the Kings put up a good fight and Edmonton secured their quarterfinal berth only in the seventh game. The Oilers showed high performance against the Flames and scored six goals, but that wasn't good enough - terrible form of both Smith and Koskinen combined with poor defensive play led to nine conceded goals.
