Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers Predictions: Game 5 Preview

The Los Angeles Kings and Edmonton Oilers face off in Game 5 of the NHL West First Round Playoffs at Rogers Place on Tuesday. This article previews the game and offers a pick and prediction.

Los Angeles Kings Overview

The Los Angeles Kings are averaging 3.25 goals per game, with a 29.4% success rate on their power play opportunities. Adrian Kempe leads the team with three goals, Anze Kopitar has four assists, and Trevor Moore has taken 16 shots on goal. Defensively, the Kings are allowing 3.50 goals per game and have a 45.5% success rate in killing their opponents’ power plays. Goalie Joonas Korpisalo has given up 13 goals on 158 shots faced.

Edmonton Oilers Overview

The Edmonton Oilers average 3.50 goals per game and have an impressive 54.6% success rate on their power play opportunities. Leon Draisaitl leads Edmonton with five goals, Evan Bouchard has five assists, and Connor McDavid has taken 20 shots on goal. Defensively, the Oilers are allowing 3.25 goals per game and have a 70.6% success rate in killing their opponents’ power plays. Goalies Stuart Skinner and Jack Campbell have allowed a combined 13 goals on 129 shots faced.

Prediction

Although the Los Angeles Kings have demonstrated their ability to compete in this series, their Game 4 loss after blowing a 3-0 lead on home ice makes it difficult to back them in this game. With the Oilers returning to their home ice and building momentum after stealing a game they probably should not have won, the prediction favors the Edmonton Oilers and the PL for maximum betting value.

Over 6.5 Goals

In the four games played between the Kings and Oilers thus far, three have gone into overtime, with two games going under and two going over the total. The Oilers’ fast-paced playing style and the uncertainties surrounding their goaltending situation make the over 6.5 goals a viable bet.

With Stuart Skinner holding a 3.39 goals per game average and a .881 SV%, and Joonas Korpisalo allowing an average of 3 goals per game with a .918 SV%, at least six goals can be expected. Additionally, Connor McDavid has not yet had a breakout game with multiple goals, which could be on the horizon.
