Los Angeles has won six of eight and is 48-32 when revenging a same-season loss to an opponent. You need defense to contend on the road in the playoffs and the Kings have it, ranked third during the regular season in goals given up (2.56 per game), fourth in shots on goal allowed, and fifth in save percentage (.912). Edmonton is on a 4-6 run heading into the playoffs losing as chalk of -210, -270, -110, and -170. The defense finished 13th in save percentage (.904). With the Oilers 70-112 when working with three or more days of rest, back the dog in Game 1. Play Los Angeles as a Max Play.
