Top NHL picks November 16: Bet on Kings to upset Oilers

There are only three NHL games on Wednesday.

The Ottawa Senators are playing against a struggling Buffalo Sabres team. Los Angeles Kings are going to play a more structured game against Edmonton Oilers. The St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks are expected to have a low-event game.

Buffalo has lost six games in a row and is struggling to score. Ottawa has won one of their last nine games. The Senators are playing their second game in as many nights. Buffalo has only won five of 17 games it's played on zero days’ rest since the 2021-22 season.

Edmonton's playing reckless hockey recently. Los Angeles is playing structured hockey and has won four of their last five games. This is their first meeting since Edmonton knocked them out of the playoffs last year.

Neither Chicago nor St. Louis are putting forward much offence. Chicago is fourth in team save percentage and St Louis is 12th. The under on this total has hit or pushed in eight consecutive games for Chicago.
