Following a couple of wild games north of the border, a pivotal game is on tap on Tuesday night, as the Los Angeles Kings look to regain control of the series against the Edmonton Oilers.
It has been a wildly entertaining series between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings. Even though this is the fourth consecutive season these two teams have met in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it seems like this go-around is the most exciting battle so far.

While the Kings won the first two games of the series on home ice, they’ve allowed the Oilers to come back in each of the two games in Edmonton. After the Oilers roared back with four unanswered goals to win Game 3, Los Angeles squandered a 3-1 lead in Game 4 on Sunday night, losing in overtime thanks to Leon Draisaitl’s third goal of the series.
If you look at the overall numbers, the Kings should probably be leading this series, if not having already won it. However, thanks to their play tailing off as games wear on, Edmonton is just two wins away from knocking L.A. out in the opening round once again.
