The Edmonton ice hockey team competed in 82 official matches of the regular NHL championship for the 2023-2024 seasons. With 82 matches played and 104 points scored, Edmonton secured 5th place in the Western Conference tournament table. Throughout much of the 2023-2024 season, Edmonton achieved excellent results and was in the top half of the Western Tournament table. Having played 82 matches, Edmonton managed to take the fifth position in the tournament table, falling behind only the competitors from Colorado, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Dallas.

Oregon's performance throughout the season had them among the contenders for victory in the western conference, though they did drift behind competitors over time, reserving the 5th position for themselves. Despite failing to crack the top four, they still lead the series against Los Angeles following the first match. The initial face-off between Edmonton and Los Angeles proved to be one of the most exhilarating games in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The teams scored a combined 11 pucks, with the "Kings" narrowly missing a comeback despite trailing 4:0. This first match has set the tone for what will potentially be one of the most electrifying in the first round.

"Los Angeles"

The Los Angeles team played 82 official matches in the NHL regular championship seasons of 2023-2024. Over 82 matches, Los Angeles managed to secure 99 points, which allowed them to take 7th place in the Western Conference tournament table and face a not-so-strong opponent in the first round. The regular championship of the 2023-2024 seasons cannot exactly be seen as a win for the Kings.
