Command Analysis

Los Angeles Kings

Current form
Los Angeles has been showing great results for most of the season and has generally had no bad periods. The team deserved to start the first series at home. By the way, she always looked much stronger on her own ice than on other people's courts, and was successful in many fights with a difference of several goals.
The Kings and the confrontation with Edmonton started very well and won two victories in a row. Recall that in the first case, they defeated their opponent with a score of 6:5, and then beat him with a score of 6:2. However, they failed to consolidate their success on the road, and the kings lost both in the third (4:7) and in the fourth (3:4 OT) matches. It is noteworthy that in the last match they even had an extremely comfortable two-goal advantage, but they had a terrible third period of the game, and also allowed the opponent to win back literally 30 seconds before the siren.
That is why it will not be easy to recover mentally after such an insulting defeat, and in this case, Jim Hiller will have to find the right words in the locker room to properly set up the players for a home match.

Interesting betting trends
- On average, Los Angeles gets five minutes of penalty time.
- Kings perform an average of 32 power moves

Edmonton Oilers

Current form
Edmonton didn't look as stable as its opponent this season, but it has a lot of experience behind it, so it was clear that the team would be able to pull itself together in the playoffs and perform at a high level. It should be noted that she continues to play in her usual style and acts exclusively on opposite courses, thereby compensating for a weak defensive game.
Thanks to this, in the three previous meetings out of four, the Oilers scored no less than four goals. Of course, the main burden falls on the shoulders of the main stars of the club in the person of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. By the way, the forwards are doing a great job, and each of them has already managed to earn nine points on the goal+pass system.
Strangely enough, Chris Nobloch's squad has the most disastrous period in this series, but in the third period it feels extremely comfortable and has an 11:5 ratio in goals scored and conceded. The Oilers also enjoy a good numerical advantage and currently have 40% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Matthias Ehcolm will miss the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton gets an average of 10 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, the oilmen make 34 shots on target.

Prediction - Los Angeles wins with a handicap (0) in 1.72
Betting on an individual total
Los Angeles has shown a bright offensive game in all previous meetings and scored at least three goals. Edmonton continues to play outdoor hockey and allows the opponent too much at his gate. In addition, the kings have a great advantage in numbers on the court and regularly score in the majority.
We're betting on Los Angeles' individual total of more than three goals in 1.77
Bet on the total total
The last matches between the clubs were spectacular and took place with six or more goals scored. The teams make great use of their moments, but they don't try to play indoor hockey. Even at the Cryptocom Arena, the two opening matches turned out to be productive, so there is reason to believe that the clubs will continue to delight the audience with a large number of goals.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.67
