The Oilers will have the better team on paper and on the ice. The Oilers were in a highly competitive race against VKG for the Pacific Division and came up just short at the end. The Oilers are the best team in the NHL on offense, with the most scored goals in the league. The Kings have scored the tenth-most goals in the NHL. The Oilers have been known for all offense and no defense. That is not the case this season as the Oilers have played a lot better on the defensive end and have been getting good play between the pipes. Edmonton finished the season going 9-0-1 over their last 10 winning five straight. The Kings were 5-5 over their last 10. Edmonton could be the best team in the Western Conference right now and will open the series with a win at home.

Play on Edmonton
