Darcy Kuemper vs. Calvin Pickard
The battle rages on in the West as the Kings (48-25-9) clash with the Oilers (48-29-5) in a critical Game 4, with Los Angeles holding a 2-1 series lead! Tonight’s projected goalie matchup? Darcy Kuemper vs. Calvin Pickard.
Kuemper has been a bit shaky, surrendering 12 goals on 85 shots so far, including a rough night in Game 3 where a third-period collapse cost the Kings dearly. Even with the stumble, Kuemper’s playoff experience keeps him locked in as LA’s starter.
Pickard, meanwhile, stepped in and steadied the ship for Edmonton in Game 3, grabbing a much-needed win. He wasn’t perfect, but he got the job done and gave the Oilers new life.
With momentum swinging, Game 4 promises fireworks.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Oilers -1.5
When it comes to a moneyline play, I’m hammering the Oilers tonight at home. They’ll get the best of LA tonight. Given the current moneyline odds at -142, I’m placing a small play on the Oilers taking this one.
When making a puck line pick, we’re backing the Oilers to win and cover. Watch for the Oilers to win this game by multiple goals over the Kings.
For those assessing the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will stay below that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the under. (Keep it small)
