The Los Angeles Lords have their first-round matchup of the 2024 NHL end of the season games secured. They will be taking on the Edmonton Oilers for the third consecutive season.
How did this become? Indeed, the Rulers were in real life the previous evening against the Chicago Blackhawks, similar to the Vegas Brilliant Knights, who took on the Anaheim Ducks. The Brilliant Knights required only one highlight secure the third spot in the Pacific Division.
They didn’t record a solitary point and lost to the Ducks 4-1. This intended that on the off chance that the Lords recorded a point, they would assume control over the third spot in the division. That occurred; their game against the Blackhawks went to additional time, and afterward Adrian Kempe scored six seconds into the additional edge to dominate the match and secure a third-place finish in their division.
As referenced over, the Lords versus Oilers meet for one more season finisher series. This will be the third consecutive season, with the Oilers dominating the competition the twice. The 2022 first-round series finished in quite a while, and last year was over in seven games.
The Rulers might be the dark horses in this series, however that doesn’t mean it is a wash. Before, the matchups were close for the heft of the series, until the Oilers turned it on and disposed of the Lords.
This time around, the Lords should rest on any semblance of Kempe, Kevin Fiala, Anze Kopitar, and Attracted Daring to assist with moving beyond the Oilers. The truth will come out at some point what occurs, yet lock in and snatch your popcorn; this could be a long series.
The Rulers will presently plan for the Oilers as their series begins on Monday, April 22 at 10 p.m.
