Adrian Kempe has 35 goals and 19 assists for the Kings. Anze Kopitar has two goals and five assists over the past 10 games.
In their last 10 games the Kings are 6-4, averaging 2.9 goals, 4.8 assists, 5.2 penalties and 14.9 penalty minutes while giving up 2.8 goals per game.

BETTING TRENDS
Los Angeles are 5-10 SU in their last 15 games against Edmonton.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Los Angeles' last 9 games on the road.
Edmonton are 15-3 SU in their last 18 games at home.
Edmonton are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games when playing at home against Los Angeles.
Prediction
This has been a much more competitive series than I thought it was going to be. The Oilers have wasted the home games as the Kings beat them twice in Edmonton. Expect another close game and with the Oilers failing to cover the spread in 4 of their last 5 games at home I'll take the Kings to cover.
PICK: Kings +1.5 (-140)
