TBS will host Thursday’s matchup between the LA Kings and Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the first round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs with puck drop set at 10:10 p.m. ET. The game will take place at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is on the brink of arguably the biggest upset in the first round after taking a thrilling 5-4 overtime win at Rogers Place in Game 5 on Tuesday. The Kings got up 1-0 in the first period on a goal by Troy Stecher and extended the lead to 3-1 in the second period with goals from Adrian Kempe and Andreas Athanasiou. But Edmonton scored three third-period goals, two from Leon Draisaitl to tie the game at 4-4 and send it to overtime. But a little more than a minute into the extra session, Kempe quieted the crowd in Edmonton.

Edmonton got big games from Draisaitl (two goals, assist) and Connor McDavid (goal, two assists), but it wasn’t enough to stop a Kings team that has shown no fear of heavily-favored Oilers squad. The Kings are +120 home underdogs in Game 6 on DraftKings Sportsbook and betting at -175 to close out the series. Edmonton is -140 favorite in Game 6.
