Betting Tip
The Los Angeles Kings had a great game at home in Game 4 to tie the series up at 2 games apiece and now the pressure is back on the Edmonton Oilers to do the same and protect home ice. The Kings have been underdogs in every game this series but still have found a way to make it 2-2 after four games and a lot of that can be attributed to goalie Jonathan Quick.
Connor McDavid was completely shut down in Game 4 but now back at home, the Hart Trophy favourite will bounce back and decide Game 5. Edmonton has only lost consecutive games twice since March 9 and have a home record of 17-3-1 in the past three months. They will add another home win tonight that will get them one step away from the next round.
