T.M. Selection: Kings/Oilers OVER.

I am on the over in the LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers game on Tuesday. This series has seen some really high scoring affairs lately with 3/4 of their games so far seeing 6+ goals in them but 3 of their games have also been very one sided. Only the 1st game was a close affair with the Kings taking that game 4-3, while the other 3 games were 6-0, 8-2, and 4-0 wins. I think this game will be another high scoring affair like the others in this series but after 3 one sided games like that, I expect this game to be a lot like the 1st with a much closer score as the 2 teams are settled in now at 2-2 in the series. This game is huge for both teams as the winner will have the other on the brink of elimination going back to LA and neither team want to be in that position whether it be a home or road game for them. I think both teams are going to go hard in this game and I see it having multiple lead changes as both teams fight to take this all important game. Both of these teams have been scoring a ton of goals in this series and I don't see that changing here. The Oilers will be upset off a shut out loss in LA and will try to strike early in this game with lots of goals being on home ice here. The Kings will also be trying to avoid the elimination situation here and will come out hard in this game to try and take the series back home with a lead and a chance to kick the Oilers out on home ice. I think both teams will bring their best game here. I see another high scoring affair here, I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers.
