Free Los Angeles Kings vs. Edmonton Oilers NHL Prediction
The Kings looked good in the last game but I expect their defense is going to struggle in this game. I am not sure it’s going to be enough for the Oilers to win, but this game is going to be a shootout. Look for both offenses to find success, and this game is going to go over the total.
