The Oilers are 0-5 on the PP in the playoffs so far, and they ranked 12th on the man advantage during the regular season (23.7%). Not nearly as good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t expect Edmonton to magically return to last season&#8217;s form, but I also don&#8217;t expect it to get held off the board forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Oilers will throw everything at the wall on Friday night to get back into this series, and I anticipate them drawing plenty of penalties in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there&#8217;s almost no one better than McDavid to back on this market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> McDavid has 92 power-play points in the last two seasons (playoffs included). That ranks third behind Nathan MacKinnon (95) and Nikita Kucherov (103).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hyman 1+ points (-112)<\/strong>: In a perfect world, McDavid links up with Hyman on the power play for a goal. That would be nice, but even if that doesn&#8217;t happen, I&#8217;m bullish on the winger finding the stat sheet at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyman scored a goal playing alongside McDavid and Corey Perry in Game 1 and had some shifts alongside Leon Draisaitl and McDavid in Game 2. The latter line generated a 75.0% Corsi rate, per Natural Stat Trick, and should see more ice together.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McDavid will likely get double-shifted on Friday, meaning Hyman will have ample opportunities playing with the game&#8217;s best player even if he&#8217;s dropped to the second line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyman has 50 points in 55 playoff games with the Oilers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kings vs. Oilers prop picks made at 1:29 p.m. ET 04\/24\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Edmonton Oilers look for a spark against the Los Angeles Kings as their series shifts north of the border.
