Edmonton has won three of four to take a 3-2 series lead. That's part of an impressive 21-5 run since March and they're 28-11-4 on the road this season. Edmonton led the regular season in goals scored (3.96 pg) and scoring percentage, while the power play was the best in NHL history (32.4 percent). And that power play has been the difference in this series going 8-of-14. The Oilers are 41-15 in divisional play, 13-2 on the road against a Pacific division opponent, plus 35-20 versus teams that average 3+ goals. You need strong defense if you want to hang with sharp-shooting Edmonton but Los Angeles is 16th in goals surrendered, 27th in save percentage, and 23rd in penalty killing. The Kings are on a 6-8 run overall, as well as 2-10 after playing three straight divisional games. And Edmonton has won seven of the last 10 meetings in this building. Play Edmonton.
