Plenty of baseball to choose from, but I actually want to stick to the ice here tonight. The Los Angeles Kings are back up in Alberta facing elimination against the Edmonton Oilers tonight, and I expect the Oilers to finish the job here.

Los Angeles Kings vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction
I will be totally honest, with the way Rittich and Skinner played in Game 4, I could totally see this game going under. I said it before the series and stand by it, Los Angeles is a very talented team, and they honestly have played Edmonton very well it three out of four thus far. It's just hard to stop a juggernaut that is starving for success. Los Angeles really needed to take Game 4 to make this a series and for what it's worth, it was a valiant effort in Game 4, I just don't see them taking three straight now.
Would I be surprised if Los Angeles finds a way to win this game? No, but with the Oilers scoring four or more in three of four so far, I think they keep the foot on the gas tonight. A major factor in this is the empty net factor, if you're going to get eliminated, the final score does not matter. They will pull the goalie as early (if not a little extra early) than they should, and will pull him again if the Oilers can gain a lead.
