After staking a 2-0 series lead, Los Angeles has put itself in a desperate situation losing the past three games. Darcy Kuemper did his part with 43 saves in Game 5, but it wasn't enough as the Kings were outshot 46-22. Edmonton has gone UNDER 10 of 15 against the Western Conference and the Kings have won four of five after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. Los Angeles still has won 10 of 15 and it is difficult for any team to win four in a row. The Kings will depend on Kuemper to come through with another stellar performance while getting more production in their offensive zone. Kuemper is 31-11-7 with a 2.02 goals-against average and five shutouts this season. Take the Kings to force a Game 7, and bet this game to stay UNDER.
