Premium Pick

Edmonton's offense has been No. 1 in the postseason, averaging 4.5 goals. They are also second on the power play, converting 5-of-18 chances (39%) against Los Angeles. The Oilers went 23-16-2 on the road during the regular season and just dispatched the Kings in six games, including a Game 5 road win. Defending Western Conference champ Edmonton has played five playoff series since losing to Vegas in 2023, winning four of them. The Oilers had a number of players recovering from injuries heading into the series against the Kings. They've gotten healthier, winning four in a row, and are in good shape coming into this series. They're on an 11-5 run with two of the losses by one goal. Vegas beat Minnesota in six games, although they were outscored in the series, 19-18. The offense is averaging 3.00 goals in the playoffs, ranked 12th out of 16 teams. Edmonton has matched up well, winning two of the last three meetings. That included a 3-2 victory on April 1, 3-2, in Las Vegas as a +140 underdog. The Golden Knights are on a 9-6 run losing four times as a favorite with six of the wins by just one goal. Play Edmonton on the moneyline, and take them to cover on the puck line.
