Edmonton Oilers

Los Angeles Kings

Match Preview

Edmonton returns home in high spirits. The Oilers are just one victory away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs, a win they will try to secure on May 2nd on the ice of their home arena, Rogers Place. Los Angeles, on the other hand, is on the brink of elimination. To save the series, the Kings need to do something incredible.

The fourth game of the series was abnormal in many respects. Only one goal was scored, by Bouchard. The Oilers took advantage of the only opportunity to capitalize on a power play, doing so within a minute. However, throughout the entire game, they only managed a meager 13 shots on the opponent's goal. The Kings, on the other hand, threatened Skinner's goal noticeably more often, but the goalie stopped all 33 shots, securing his first playoff shutout.

The Los Angeles players understood that they desperately needed to even the score in the series on home ice. They were more persistent than their opponent, pushed forward, and created opportunities, but they failed to capitalize on any of them and conceded a goal at their first penalty. The Kings also had a chance to showcase themselves in a power play, but to no avail. It seems that Jim Hiller's team will soon be watching the playoffs on TV.

Projected lineups:

Edmonton: Skinner – Bouchard, Ekholm – Hyman, McDavid, Henrik

Los Angeles: Talbot – Doughty, Anderson – Kempe, Kopitar, Byfield

The hosts will take to the ice in optimal lineup – they have no losses. The visitors will be without Koply, but he is a backup goalie, and his absence will not play a key role.

Edmonton will take to the ice determined to end the series here and now, so Los Angeles will have a tough time. The Kings haven't drawn in 14 of their last 15 away games, so we believe that we will not see a tied score at the end of three periods in the upcoming match.
