Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
It seemed that Edmonton approached the playoffs in great shape, as it picked up a good pace before the end of the regular season and consistently beat almost all opponents on its way. In five matches, the team suffered only one defeat, just from its future rival in the playoffs, Los Angeles.
The Stanley Cup for the Oilers started on the road, where they failed to show their best. In the first match, the team was able to give a decent rebuff to the Kings, but due to constant failures, they still had to be defeated in regular time with a difference of only one goal (5:6). Goalkeeper Skinner showed his worst side, reflecting only 80% of shots. Despite the setback, it's worth praising striker McDavid, who scored a hat-trick and provided an assist. In the second leg, the Oilers were completely defeated with a score of 2:6. Again, Skinner failed to cope with his main task, and he was replaced in the middle of the third period.

Troy Stetcher and Matthias Ekholm will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.

Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles has been showing amazing results this season and was in optimal shape until the very end of the regular season, steadily earning points, which allowed it to enter the playoffs from fourth place in the Western Conference table and begin its Stanley Cup performance at home. The Kings took advantage of the home walls perfectly and showed their full attacking potential in the very first match, snatching Victoria from Edmonton with a one-goal difference (6:5). The most productive were forwards Kuzmenko and Kempe, who scored three goals each.
Few people could have expected that the kings would completely defeat the oilmen in the second leg with a four-goal difference (6:2). Kempe proved himself once again, scoring a double and giving two assists. Goalkeeper Kuemper also played much more reliably, reflecting 92% of shots this time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tanner Jeannot will not participate in the upcoming bout due to injury.

1.47Tip and bets
Edmonton has returned to its home arena, where it will try its best to break its streak of setbacks and return to the series. The Oilers continue to experience serious defensive problems, which is why they allowed their opponents to gain a significant advantage. The Oilers must correct their mistakes and play much more reliably with the support of their stands, where it will be much more difficult for Los Angeles to show its attacking potential. We believe that the owners of the ice will still be able to achieve the desired result and we are betting in their favor, but for safety we take the victory, including overtime.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton to win the match in 1.72
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. As you can see, this series is becoming one of the most productive, and we believe that this trend will continue, given the serious attacking potential of both teams.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.75
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Edmonton did not start the matches in the best way, allowing Los Angeles to earn an advantage at the end of the opening period. We believe that the home walls will help the Oilers fix this and they, at least, will not lose in the initial stretch.
Betting Tip - Edmonton's victory in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.70
