LiontipsEdmonton Oilers - Los Angeles: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Edmonton has gained excellent form at the end of the regular season and has not lost for three consecutive matches. The team began a series of successful performances at home, where they met with St. Louis and snatched Victoria from him in regular time with a difference of only one goal (4:3). Brown scored the decisive goal just 20 seconds before the final whistle. In the very first match after his return, McDavid showed a great game, scoring a hat-trick of assists. They managed to consolidate their success in the duel with San Jose, winning a landslide victory (4:2). This time, McDavid provided four assists.
Next, the Oilers went to visit the leader of the Western Conference in Winnipeg, where they defeated their opponent with a score of 4:1. The defensive line showed a great game, allowing the opponent to make only 17 shots in three periods. It is worth noting that at the moment the club is on the sixth line in the Western Conference table and has already received an early ticket to the playoffs.

Walman, Klingberg, Nugent-Hopkins, Kane and Ekholm will miss the upcoming meeting.

Current form
Los Angeles completed a four-match home streak, which proved to be quite successful. After defeating Edmonton in the first match (3-0), the team hosted Seattle and, to their great surprise, failed to show their attacking potential, losing with a score of 1:2. Out of 29 shots, only one reached the goal. The Kings quickly rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans, defeating Anaheim with a five-goal difference (6:1). The most productive were striker Kuzmenko and Kempe, who scored three points each.
Next, the kings met with Colorado and again showed an excellent offensive game, which made it possible to compensate for defensive failures and win with a minimal advantage (5:4). At the moment, the club occupies the fifth place in the Western Conference table, but it is worth noting that it still has the opportunity to compete for the third position, which is five points behind. But for this, the team needs to win all the remaining matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Janot definitely won't be able to play in the upcoming match. Doughty and Edmundson are also in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Los Angeles wins 50.6% of face-offs

2.34Tip and bets
Both teams have already qualified for the playoffs ahead of schedule, but this does not mean that they can give up. Points still matter to them, as there is an opportunity to compete for a higher place in the Western Conference table. What is especially noteworthy is that the clubs compete directly with each other, which makes the upcoming match even more interesting. For this reason, it is quite reasonable to expect a serious fight from both sides, and the oilmen have a significant advantage, since they will be playing on the home arena, where they have not lost much lately. In addition, the Oilers have recovered McDavid, who has shown incredible results since returning and is consistently different in every meeting. So we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton to win the match in 1.93
Bet on the total
Both teams have a powerful attacking potential and have often pleased fans with their active and productive play lately. In face-to-face meetings, clubs are also not used to holing up on the defensive, which means that it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals.

Betting on the outcome of the first period
Edmonton, due to the support of its home stands, will try to earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment. Los Angeles may well have difficulties in the first period, so we suggest betting on the victory of the Oilers in the initial twenty minutes.
