Oilers’ Offense Boosts Betting Value

Edmonton is heavily favored to beat Los Angeles in Game 4 thanks in large part to their recent offensive output. The Oilers have scored at least six goals in consecutive playoff games following an 8-2 victory in Game 3 on Friday.

Evander Kane scored a hat trick, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman each had two goals and an assist in the Game 3 victory. The Oilers are officially the high-scoring team in the NHL postseason following Friday’s offensive explosion.

Edmonton’s offensive output over the past few games has been so impressive that they’re now -670 favorites to win the series after opening at only -235 to win. It isn’t just luck either, as Jay Woodcroft’s team has generated 55 high-danger chances so far in the series.

Overshadowed by Edmonton’s high-powered offense is the strong play of veteran goalie Mike Smith. The 45-year-old netminder turned away 44 shots in Game 3 after pitching a 30-save shutout in Game 2.

Kings’ Betting Analysis vs Oilers

Los Angeles is priced as +132 underdogs for Game 4, meaning they have a 41% implied probability to win. The Kings will look to bounce back Sunday after getting dominated in Game 3. Anze Kopitar and Phillip Danault got on the scoresheet in an 8-2 loss.

Goaltending is a concern for the Kings entering Game 4, as Jonathan Quick was pulled in Game 3 after allowing four goals on 17 shots. Backup Calvin Petersen didn’t fare much better in relief, allowing four goals on 20 shots.

Even though the Oilers have outscored the Kings 14-2 in consecutive games, there are reasons oddsmakers haven’t made LA a heavier Game 4 underdog. The Kings outshot Edmonton 41-37 in Game 3 and own a decent 47.42 CF% at 5-on-5 in the series.

The Kings have been burned by special teams, as Edmonton has scored five times with the man advantage in the series. With top defenseman Drew Doughty injured, the Kings have had no answer for superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Game 4 Kings vs Oilers Pick

Edmonton has now won five of their last six meetings with Los Angeles dating back to the regular season. While the Kings should have a better showing in Game 4, it’s hard to see them shutting down this dynamic Oilers offense.

Oilers 17 goals are the most by a team through the first 3 games of a postseason since the Sharks netted 17 goals in their 2014 first-round series vs….the Kings

Edmonton has all the momentum in the Oilers vs Kings series and should keep rolling Sunday. Leon Draisaitl has scored in three straight games, while McDavid has recorded three consecutive multi-point games. Furthermore, Smith looks rock-solid in the crease.

Here are some betting trends to note for Game 4 Oilers vs Kings:

• Oilers are 8-2 in their last 10 games as a road favorite
• Kings are 1-5 in their last 6 playoff games as an underdog
• Road team is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings

Edmonton’s explosive offense combined with Los Angeles’ goaltending issues makes the Oilers moneyline the best bet for Game 4. While it likely won’t be another blowout, look for Edmonton to take Game 4 and push the Kings to the brink of elimination.

Pick: Oilers Moneyline (-157)
