Kings are Blowing It

Remember a couple of games ago where the Kings were up 2-1 and they looked like they were cruising with a 6-2 victory Well those days are suddenly behind them and now they have to win the next two games even to make it to the next round of the playoffs. On Tuesday, the Kings scored one goal in the second period, but that wasn’t enough, as they ultimately lost 3-1. Andrei Kuzmenko scored the one goal for the Kings. 

The defense allowed the Oilers to shoot 45 shots on goa,l and Darcy Kuemper was actually good, saving 43 of the 45 shots that he faced. The Kings need to not allow so many shots in the goal. Adrian Kempe has had a big postseason and he has scored four goals and added six assists. Anze Kopitar has also scored one goal and added seven assists. 

Oilers Are On Fire

The Oilers are on fire, and they have won three games in a row. Two games ago, the Oilers picked up the 4-3 victory in overtime, and on Tuesday, they secured the 3-1 victory. Mattias Janmark, Evander Kane, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all scored a goal. Calvin Pickard was in goal and he saved 21 of the 22 shots that he faced. Even though the offense was good, the Oilers offense didn’t really get going until the third period, and they need to find a way to get the offense going earlier. 

In the last game the Oilers lost they gave up six goals and they can’t have the defense really struggle again here. Connor McDavid has scored two goals and added eight assists. Leon Draisaitl has scored three goals and added seven assists. 

Why the Oilers Will Beat the Kings

• The Oilers have won each of their last eight games as home favorites.
• The Kings have lost nine of their last 11 games at Rogers Place.
• The favorites have covered the puck line in three of the Oilers’ last four games at Rogers Place.
• The Oilers have won the second period in seven of their last eight games as favorites against Western Conference opponents at Rogers Place when tied after the first period.

Total Goal Facts

• Seven of the Oilers’ last eight night games against opponents on a losing streak have gone UNDER the total goals line.
• Six of the Kings’ last seven road games against Pacific Division opponents have gone OVER the total goals line.
• Five of the last six night games between two teams from the Pacific Division have gone OVER the total goals line.
• The ‘Over 1.5 Goals Period 2′ market has hit in each of the Oilers’ last 10 Thursday night games.
• The ‘Over 1.5 Goals Period 3′ market has hit in each of the Kings’ last seven games.

Oilers vs Kings Prediction

Give me the Oilers here, even at a little steeper price. The Kings are going to have no issue here, and they are going to put on quite the show with the offense. They had 45 shots on goal in the last game and they are going to pepper shots again here. In this game, though, Kuemper isn’t going to be as strong, and the Oilers are going to start putting pucks in the back of the net early and often. The Kings’ offense won’t be good enough, and this will be a comfortable victory. Back the Oilers on the puck line.

Kings vs Oilers Prediction

The teams have traded wins over the last couple of years, as each recorded five in the previous ten H2H encounters. This season, the Kings lead the series 5-3. Even though the Kings are extremely good at home and have the second-best defense in the NHL this season, I expect a high-scoring game again. It’s clear that the Oilers play a high-flying, attacking hockey, and no defense can stop the dynamic duo of Draisaitl and McDavid. The Kings are the favorites to win, but I will avoid betting on the winner because the momentum is on Edmonton’s side now, and it’s better to back the goals instead. Another 7+ goals is a possibility. I am going with Over.

Oilers vs Kings Prediction 

Edmonton was able to avoid disaster with a strong third period in game three, but they need to play a complete game if they want to even this series at two. Los Angeles has had issues on the road this season, but I thought they played pretty well in game three, before that questionable challenge from their coach. I don’t like how either team is defending in this series and I definitely don’t trust Pickard in net for Edmonton, so I think we will see plenty of goals in this one. Take the over in game four.

Oilers vs Kings Prediction 

Los Angeles comes into this matchup looking to take a 3-0 lead, but I think this Edmonton offense will get going here.

Neither team has been very good defensively in the series, but Edmonton has been very good at home this year, as they are 25-13-3 on home ice. On the other side, LA is a completely different team on the road, where they are just 17-19-5. Take the Oilers here.

Kings vs Oilers Prediction

The teams have traded wins in the past few years, as each recorded five in the previous ten H2H encounters. The Kings were better in four of the last five, all of which were played this season, including Game 1 of this series. The Kings are fantastic at home and have a 1-0 lead, but I am backing the Oilers because if they go to a 2-0 hole, I don’t think they will find the way out. Edmonton scored five goals against the second-best defense, so it’s evident the Oilers know how to score against Los Angeles. The visitors won’t let the Kings take a big lead like in Game 1, and it’s going to be a much closer tilt from the start. I am giving a slight advantage to Draisaitl, McDavid, and co.

Kings vs Oilers Injury Report

The Kings will be without Tanner Jeannot.

The Edmonton Oilers will be without Alec Regula, Mattias Ekholm, John Klingberg, Troy Stecher, and Evander Kane. Trent Frederic is questionable.

Kings vs Oilers Prediction

The Oilers have the talent to win this game and series, and they’re going to be up for the playoffs after coming up short last year in the cup finals. It’s title or bust for Edmonton. However, the Kings have been ridiculously good at home this season where they’ve won 31 games, and they’re not a team I’m excited to step in front of on their home ice.

The Kings have also beaten the Oilers twice this season, outscoring them 8-0 in those games. It’s the home dominance that has me leaning toward the Kings in this spot, especially with the cheap price. The Oilers have also lost seven of their last 10 playoff games as an underdog. Give me the Kings and the cheap price.

Kings vs Flames Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup playing very well over the last week, but this game is meaningless for both sides. Calgary was trying to catch the Wild/Blues in the wild card race, but they came up just short, while the Kings are the two seed in the Pacific. The Kings are 31-5-4 at home this year, while the Flames are 17-15-8 on the road. We have seen the Kings rest some players in recent games and I don’t think this will be any different, as they try to stay healthy for the playoffs. I would love to take the Flames in this game with that in mind, but LA has been dominant at home and I think their defense will be too much for Calgary. Take the Kings to win here.

The Kings will be without Tanner Jeannot, while Joel Edmundson and Drew Doughty are questionable.

Oilers vs Kings Prediction

You can make a case for either of these contenders, as the Oilers and Kings have been great all season. The issue is that we’re getting a true pick’em price, so I have to lean toward the Oilers at home. The Kings aren’t nearly the same team on the road as they are at home, as it’s where 19 of their 24 losses have come this season. The Oilers are coming off a strong week of three straight wins where the offense has found success.

The Oilers are dealing with endless injuries, but the firepower is still there. Also, the Oilers have won seven of the last 10 games against the Kings. Give me some plus money, and I’d consider the Kings. At this price, I have to side with the Oilers on their home ice.

There’s value with the Avalanche and the plus money, as they’ve won seven of the last 10 games against the Kings, which includes a 4-0 win a couple of weeks ago. With that said, the Avalanche are dealing with endless injuries, and it makes it hard to win on the road against good teams. The Kings are also a ridiculous 30-5-4 on their home ice this season. I can’t go against the Kings at home, and of course I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price. The Kings reach 100 points for the seventh time in franchise history.

I don’t expect a lot of goals here, but I do expect the Kings to dominate and secure a comfortable win. Los Angeles won ten of the previous 12 games at home, and eight of those ten wins were by at least a two-goal margin. I am backing the Kings to get another win and cover the puck line.

Kings vs Hockey Club Prediction

In this Los Angeles Kings vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction, the Kings are coming as -130 home favorites. This line is perfectly priced in my opinion, as the Kings are the superior team in this matchup, but they have been struggling on the road. In fact, Utah has more home wins than LA has road wins, and both teams are coming off back-to-back wins. So, I see no value on either side, even though the Kings have won both meetings against the Hockey Club this season. Both meetings were in LA, and the Kings won by 5-3 and 3-2.

Both teams are top-10 to the under in the NHL, with a combined 82-58 to the under this season. The Kings have been an under machine this season, while Utah is playing excellent defense lately, so I expect a low-scoring grind in this one. Take the under 5.5 goals.

Kings vs Jets Prediction 

Winnipeg comes into this matchup with one of the best records in the NHL, but they can’t take their foot off of the gas, as Dallas is just four points behind them in the Central. The Jets are 23-13-0 on the road this year, while the Kings are 27-4-4 at home. Los Angeles did lose their last home game, but they are one of the best home teams in the NHL this year. Both teams are great defensively, but if we get the Kings on home ice at a decent price, we have to take them. Take LA to win here.

San Jose Sharks Betting Preview

The San Jose Sharks (20-43-9, 43-29 ATS) are still the worst team in the NHL after losing six of the previous nine games. The Sharks spent the last eight games at home, suffering five defeats, but they managed to beat the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs. They will spend the next two games on the road.

Los Angeles Kings Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Kings (40-23-9, 34-38 ATS) were in an excellent form of nine wins in ten games, but they suffered a couple of straight defeats the Avalanche and Maple Leafs, scoring just one goal in the process.

Kings vs Sharks Prediction

The Kings won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Sharks were better in three of the last five. Los Angeles won the opening H2H clash of the season, but the Sharks were victorious in the next two, which was rather surprising. The Kings won five of the last six H2H duels in Los Angeles, and given how they play at home this season, in combination with the Sharks’ away form, I can only back the hosts to win and cover the puck line.

The Maple Leafs won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of the last four. These teams have met once this season, and it was back in October when the Maple Leafs won 6-2 in Toronto. The Kings played a lot of low-scoring games this season, mainly because of their rock-steady defense, but on this occasion, I’ll have to go with Over. Each of Toronto’s last seven games went Over, and nine of the previous ten. Expect an exciting game between two playoff teams.

Avalanche vs Kings Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this contest on winning streaks, and they have very similar point totals, so this should be a great game to watch. The Kings are 14-18-5 on the road this year, while the Avalanche are 24-10-2 at home. Colorado has scored five goals in three straight games, and they have been one of the better home teams in the NHL this year. Los Angeles has allowed two goals or fewer in four straight games, but they have not played well away from home this season. I can’t trust this LA team unless they are on home ice, so give me the Avs to get the win.

I’m on the Kings here. This is simply the epitome of two teams heading in different directions, where the Kings are hot, and the Bruins are by far, not.

I think the Kings add to Boston’s misery here, so I’ll lay it and play it with the Los Angeles Kings at home in this one.
