The Western Conference playoffs heat up as the Los Angeles Kings take a precarious 2-1 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers heading into Game 4. Fans eagerly anticipate the action at Rogers Place, scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET, with the Kings looking to extend their advantage. Game 1 was a rollercoaster, featuring a stunning comeback by the Oilers after trailing 4-0. However, Phillip Danault’s late goal sealed victory for L.A. Game 2 saw the Kings dominate with a 6-2 win, bolstered by a potent power-play unit. The Oilers made adjustments for Game 3, leading to a more competitive match, but a controversial coaching decision led to a momentum shift that favored Edmonton.

With the series averaging 10 goals per game, the offensive firepower is undeniable. Both teams have shown explosiveness, but the Kings’ power-play proficiency is a key factor—converting 58.3% of their chances thus far. For the Oilers to even the series, improving their penalty kill is essential, especially against an L.A. squad that thrives in power-play situations. Keep an eye on Adrian Kempe and Evan Bouchard for player props, as both have been crucial for their teams.
