Los Angeles got blown out in Game 2, but the Kings got what they wanted, and that is at least a split in the first two games at Edmonton. Now they head home after winning six of their last eight games. The Kings have been in playoff mode for several weeks as they fought to finish third in the Pacific Division, and they are 19-7 after losing by at least three goals (17-7 after scoring two or fewer goals). Edmonton is 1-7 in its last eight playoff games as a favorite. Jonathan Quick obviously had a bad night in net for Los Angeles, but he has a .921 save percentage in the postseason in his long career, and he had won his six previous decisions. The Oilers have gone UNDER in five of their last six road games, and they are 7-3 UNDER playing with one day of rest. The Kings are 9-3 UNDER versus a team that scored five or more goals in its previous game, and the Kings are 6-1-1 UNDER in their last eight playoff games as underdogs. Game 3 will be much more competitive than Game 2. Take the Kings on the puckline and the UNDER.
