Los Angeles Kings - Edmonton Oilers

Eighth-final.
In this match-up, both teams are playing very aggressively: in the first game in Los Angeles - 6:5 and 6:2, and then in Edmonton - 7:4.
In the third game, the last goals were scored into empty nets, but it doesn't really change anything.

The Oilers are fighting at home with all their might because a loss on their own turf would almost certainly mean losing the series: it is very difficult for the Kings to play in their "kingdom". Even in the last meeting, the Edmonton team barely managed to save themselves in the end of the third period. In short, the visitors are also not holding back, constantly attacking the opponent's goal.

I thought that only Edmonton's defense was lacking, but it turns out that LA can't boast of it either.
My pick - Over.

Eighth Finals.
Both teams in this pair are not playing well: first - in Los Angeles - 6:5 and 6:2, then - in Edmonton - 7:4.
In the third game, the pair scored the last goals into empty nets, but it doesn't change much.

The Oilers are fighting at home as best as they can, because a loss on their home court would almost certainly mean a loss in the series - the Kings playing in their "kingdom" at the moment is very difficult. Even in the last game, the Edmonton team barely saved themselves at the end of the third period. In other words, the visitors aren't holding back either, constantly shooting at the opposing team's goal.

I thought that only Edmonton's defense was underperforming. But it turns out that LA can't boast about their defense either.
Prediction - Over.
