The Oilers' special teams rank around the middle of the league, and they sit 11th in scoring. Leon Draisaitl leads the team in goals and points and is a contender for the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP.
Los Angeles is 8-2 in their last ten games and has a +44 goal differential. The Kings rank second in goals against and eighth in penalty kill percentage. However, they struggle on the power play, which is ranked 27th in the league. Adrian Kempe leads the team in both goals and points.
In the most recent meeting between these two teams, Los Angeles shut out Edmonton 5-0 on the road. The Kings built an early 3-0 lead and scored in every period. They outshot the Oilers 36-21 and went 2-for-8 on the power play, while Edmonton went 0-for-6. These teams don't like each other, and penalty minutes tend to pile up when they meet. The team that stays more disciplined and capitalizes on key moments will likely come out on top.
Best Bet: Los Angeles Moneyline
Both of these teams played great hockey down the stretch. Edmonton has dominated Los Angeles in the postseason, but the Kings have had the upper hand in the regular season. LA has shut out Edmonton in two straight games, and their defense ranks second in the league. The Kings will look to grab an early lead and let their defense take care of the rest.
