Command Analysis

Edmonton Oilers

Current form
Edmonton started the playoffs with a series of away games and in the very first match showed a terrible defensive game, allowing Los Angeles to realize its attacking potential to the fullest. The Oilers tried their best to compensate for this disadvantage through active actions in attack and almost made a comeback in the third period, but missed another puck just a minute before the final whistle and lost with a final score of 5:6. Despite the setback, it is worth praising McDavid, who scored a hat-trick and provided an assist. But goalkeeper Skinner played very poorly, reflecting only 80% of the shots.
In the second leg, the Oilers also showed an unsuccessful defensive game, but this time it led to a 2-6 defeat. Once again, Skinner failed to cope with his main task, and he was replaced in the middle of the third period after the fifth missed goal. Returning to the home arena, the Oilers finally achieved the desired result, leaving no chance for the Kings (7-4). Once again, striker McDavid was the most productive, scoring three points.

Current form
Los Angeles came to the playoffs in great shape, which it showed in the opening matches. The team took advantage of the home walls, realizing their attacking potential to the fullest, which allowed them to snatch Victoria from the Oilers with a difference of only one goal (5:6). Goalkeeper Kuemper's weak play almost led to an embarrassing defeat, but just a minute before the final whistle, Dano realized his moment, which allowed him to regain the advantage over his opponent.
In the second match of the series, Kuemper played much more reliably, which allowed him to avoid problems by defeating the Oilers with a score of 6:2. Also, it is impossible not to mention the forwards Kempe and Kopitar, who scored four goals each. It seemed that in the first guest match, the kings, at least, would be able to impose a decent fight, but this did not happen. Constant defensive failures led to a defeat (4-7). Two minutes before the final whistle, Los Angeles took off the goalkeeper and missed two more goals into an empty net.
