NHL - Edmonton Oilers at Los Angeles Kings
Game Thoughts: I'll start with my write up from Friday's game in which the Oilers dominated in winning 6-1 as my thoughts haven't changed on this series. “I wasn't entirely sure how I'd approach Game 3 if the Oilers had won G2 but that's not a factor now and I'm looking for Edmonton to bounce back here and take home ice back from the Kings. The Oilers have held the statistical and analytical advantage in both games but played from behind most of G2. Even with the venue switch I don't see the matchups changing much as the Kings were able to get a checking line on against the Oilers #1 line and they've still managed 11 points.” In winning that Game 3 they've taken back home ice and are in a position Sunday to get this to 3-1 and close it out at home and that's where we're going here. Talbot hasn't been the answer in any of the 3 games thus far and Skinner rebounded with a very solid game on Friday night. The analytics say the Oilers have been the better team in all 3 games and the eye test says it's hard to disagree.
The play is Edmonton Oilers -145
