NHL Odds: Oilers-Kings prediction, odds, pick and more

The Los Angeles Kings play host to their Pacific Division rival, the Edmonton Oilers, tonight. The Kings are currently in 3rd place in the Pacific division and the Oilers are in 5th. They are only two points away from each other. A win for the Kings could shake up the playoffs contentions for both the teams.

Edmonton Oilers are going to play Los Angeles Kings tonight. The Oilers won their last game 3-0 against San Jose Sharks. They have won back-to-back games under new head coach Jay Woodcroft. Mike Smith will start in goal for the Oilers.

The Kings haven't played since February 2nd. They haven’t won since then. Matt Roy and Mikey Anderson haven also been injured. The Kings are not as equipped offensively as Edmonton. However, Jonathan Quick is their best player.

The Kings are going to heavily rely on Jonathan Quick to shut the door and come out victorious.

Both teams have struggled to cover the over this season. The Oilers are 21-22-3 when covering the under and the Kings are 18-28-1 when they cover it.

Oilers are the favorite to beat the Kings. They have been winning under their new coach. The under 6.5 is a good bet.

Oilers Moneyline (-106) has a final prediction and pick for the NHL game.
