Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers Predictions 4/19/2023

The Edmonton Oilers squandered a prime opportunity in the opening game of the series against the Kings.

Despite goals from Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard in the first period, and Draisaitl’s second goal early in the third period to make it 3-1, it seemed like the Oilers were in control.

However, it wasn’t enough as they ultimately fell short.

Despite recording an impressive 50 hits and winning 11 more faceoffs than their opponents, the Oilers struggled to capitalize on their chances.

They went 1-for-3 with the man advantage, and goaltender Stuart Skinner allowed four goals on 35 shots.

Even Connor McDavid, who led the league with a remarkable 153 points in the regular season, was unable to make his mark in Game 1 against the Kings, failing to score on five shots.

The total remained UNDER in 5 of Edmonton’s last 7 meetings with the Kings.
The Edmonton Oilers are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games at home.
The total remained UNDER in 4 of Edmonton’s last 6 games at home against Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers. The NHL pick for this game is the Edmonton Oilers. The Los Angeles Kings aim to continue their strong start over Edmonton.

They will once again rely on the stellar performance of goaltender Joonas Korpisalo, who was instrumental in their success thus far.

In Game 1, the Kings’ defense did an outstanding job in containing Connor McDavid, and Edmonton will need to find a way to get their star player going if they want to overcome the Kings.

With the Oilers facing a 0-1 deficit in the series, expect them to come out with increased intensity in Game 2.

McDavid, who was largely neutralized in the opening game, will be eager to make a greater impact and lead his team to victory.

The Oilers will be looking to bounce back and secure a much-needed win on Wednesday. As the series progresses, both teams will be making adjustments and bringing their best efforts to the table.

It is expected to be a tightly contested matchup, with the Oilers aiming to capitalize on the home-ice advantage and turn the tide in their favor. In a closely contested game, the final score prediction is an Oilers win, with a score of 4-3.
