It’s been extremely rough for the Los Angeles Kings since they haven’t had home-ice advantage over the Edmonton Oilers for 3 straight playoff seasons, but it all changes tomorrow night since Los Angeles has home ice this go around. Some say that three years’ worth of starting on home ice was the reason why Edmonton won, but some say that Los Angeles went downhill ever since they’ve been swept by the Golden Knights in 2018. Only time will tell what will happen in this series.

Edmonton Oilers
After the regular season ended, the leading goal scorer of 52 goals, Leon Draisaitl helped his team make the Stanley Cup playoffs. Leon Draisatl contributed 16 of those 52 goals on the power-play.
Stuart Skinner, who is confirmed to be the starting goaltender for tomorrow against the Kings, has a career record of 6 wins, 2 losses, and 1 overtime loss in 10 meetings, followed by a 1.92 goals against average. Skinner did not continue the 10th meeting with the Kings, so he did not get credited with a win or even a loss.
Los Angeles Kings
Adrian Kempe, who led the team with 35 goals in 81 games, notched his 73rd point in that 81st game. Unlike Kempe’s 35 goals, Kevin Fiala led the team in power-play goals with a total of 14.
Goaltender Darcy Kuemper, who is likely to start against the Oilers, has a career record of 13 wins, four losses, and 4 overtime losses, followed by a 2.22 goals against average in 21 meetings.
Prediction and Final Pick
Both the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings need to be careful and not draw any penalties either in game one or the entire series if one of the two wants to prove that they mean business. Although this series will be extremely tough, I would go for the Kings winning, only because I believe the players and their fans are tired of losing in the 1st round three straight times.
I would go for the moneyline of the Los Angeles Kings winning game one solely because they have home-ice advantage, Kuemper’s goals against average is beyond phenomenal, and also because Kevin Fiala’s 14 power-play goals amaze me.
It has been extremely rough for the Los Angeles Kings since they have not had home-ice advantage in three conservated seasons, but that changes tomorrow night. Hopefully, the fans of the Los Angeles Kings can boost the team’s confidence and give them a game one victory over the Edmonton Oilers.
