Edmonton would seem to have great value on Thursday at just -130 vs. the Kings. The Oilers are playing on 1 days rest however after a contest in San Jose last night.
Does Edmonton being fatigued give LA a chance here? Actually, maybe so as the Kings have been victorious in 3 of their last 4. They still sit in last in the Pacific, but momentum is momentum. Edmonton has scored 4+ in 4 of 6 games.
Edmonton Oilers
Is Edmonton in the classic ‘letdown mode’ after a 5-2 win in San Jose on Tuesday? Probably not because the Sharks are are a very middle-of-the-pack team that is just 4 points up from last place on the Kings.
The Oilers have won 4 of their last 6 and been getting some great offense in the process. Edmonton has scored 4 or more goals in 4 of the last 6 games and is up against LA’s #29 defense in goals against.
The Oilers also feature the #1 and #2 rated players in hockey in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisitl. They are the #1 power play unit in the NHL (31.8%) and score over 3 goals per game in under 30 SOG per.

Will the LA defense have any answer for Edmonton’s offense on Thursday? Draisitl leads the NHL with 44 points and McDavid is 2nd with 43. Luckily LA is 5th in the league at limiting SOG with just 29.5 allowed per.
Edmonton visits Vegas on Saturday for a big tilt with conference foe Vegas. Will the Oilers save Mikko Koskinen (8-1-2) for that tilt and go with Mike Smith (6-5)? Edmonton’s goaltender is unconfirmed as of publishing time.
Los Angeles Kings
Can the Kings find enough offense to keep up with the Oilers who could put 4-5 pucks in the net Thursday? LA has scored over 3 goals just once in their last 7, but it was an upset over Vegas that cashed out at +130.
The Kings will be fresh after having their last 2 nights off prior to this game. That last outing may have left a bad taste in their mouth though as it was a 0-3 defeat to Arizona. LA couldn’t muster a score in 31 SOG.
Prior to the SO to the Coyotes, the Kings also had some momentum at home winning their last 4 at the Staples. They were favorites in 3 of those games however against Chicago, Minnesota, and Detroit.

The big challenge for Todd McLellan’s team on Thursday is going to be on the defensive end. Edmonton is red hot on offense but at the same time LA has held 8 straight opponents to 3 goals or fewer.
It will be Jonathan Quick likely starting in net vs. the Oilers. Quick has put some early season struggles aside (including a 5-game losing streak) to post W’s in his last 3. He has still allowed 3 goals or more in 6 of his last 8 though.
