Key Stats

Edmonton Oilers

Make sure to watch out down the middle of the ice, or else Connor McDavid might score on you with a nasty one-timer. That’s exactly what McDavid did with 1 minute and 28 seconds remaining in the third. Alongside having a goal in game 1, Connor McDavid assisted on a Zach Hyman goal, an Evan Bouchard goal, and, of course, a Leon Draisaitl goal. In other words, when McDavid is locked, be careful.

Los Angeles Kings

The Los Angeles Kings were leading the game 4-0 by the end of the first period, before the Edmonton Oilers were fully locked in and went attack mode on them. With just 44 seconds remaining in the third period, centerman Phillip Danult was the game-winning hero, notching his second goal of the night to lead the Kings to a 6-5 victory.

Prediction

With the Edmonton Oilers scoring like crazy throughout the game, I will have bet on the over by at least a combined total of 15 goals. As for the moneyline, I would go for the Los Angeles Kings to win Game 2, only because the Kings still have home-ice advantage in LA at Crypto.com Arena.

Final Pick

Throughout that wild Game 1 that ended in a 6-5 win for the Kings over the Oilers, my end decision will have to be Los Angeles on the moneyline, which is -135. Both Kempe, Fiala, and Danault are all game-changers and should be able to repeat last night’s performance for Game 2 tonight.
