Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 04/29/25

The series shifts back to Los Angeles for Game 5 between the Kings and the Edmonton Oilers. There has been no shortage of goals to talk about after 4 games. The Kings went on the road and reminded everyone that they can’t win in those situations. They held third-period leads in both only to end up losing on each occasion. This may feel like a cause for concern, but as the old saying goes, you’re never in trouble until you lose a game at home.

The over opened at 6.5 and should stay at that number as we approach puck drop. The story of this series has been goaltending. We knew that Edmonton’s Stuart Skinner and/or Calvin Pickard would struggle, but not many people had L.A.’s Darcy Kuemper being worse than both. He’s not the only person to blame — his team has done him no favors — but he must elevate his game. We know how dominant Los Angeles is on home ice, so it’s hard to envision this critical showdown being a low-scoring event. We’ll continue to take the over in this series until one team convinces us that it can play defense.
