Edmonton routed the Kings, 8-2, in Game 3, even though Los Angeles outshot the Oilers 46-37, and it's going to be difficult for the Kings to recover from that debacle. Mike Smith had 44 saves for Edmonton, and Evander Kane recorded his first postseason hat trick. Cal Petersen and Jonathan Quick each gave up four goals as the Oilers took a 2-1 lead in the series. The Oilers have won 21 of their last 28 games overall, and they are 56-26 in their last 82 games when playing with one day of rest (23-6 versus the Pacific Division). Also, Edmonton is 8-1 after scoring at least five goals in its previous game and 8-2 in its last 10 games as a road favorite. The Kings are just 6-20 as home underdogs, and they are 1-8 in their last nine conference quarterfinal games. Edmonton has gone UNDER in five of its last seven road games, and the Kings are 6-2-1 UNDER in their last nine playoff games as underdogs (4-1-1 UNDER in their last six home games). Play the Oilers and the UNDER.
