This will wear the Kings down, allowing the Oilers to then punish them by using their speed to attack, creating the wrong kind of desperation that, in theory, should create more scoring chances and potentially more penalties from the Kings as they try to slow them down.

The Edmonton Oilers will try to take the lead in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings with a road victory at Crypto.com Arena in Game 5 on Tuesday night. You can watch the game on Sportsnet at 8:00 p.m. MDT or listen live on the Oilers Radio Network, including 630 CHED.

The Kings blow a two-goal lead as Edmonton forces overtime and wins, 4-3, on Leon Draisaitl’s power-play goal to tie the series 2-2. Game 5 is Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena.
