Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers Betting Analysis

Two teams in some decidedly patchy form meet in Los Angeles on Monday night as the Edmonton Oilers come to town to take on the LA Kings.

The Oilers might well welcome a road trip out West as they’ve lost three of their last four games at home over recent starts and scored an average of just 1.25 goals across those three losses as well, offensive issues we normally don’t associate with this high-powered Edmonton attack.

LA meanwhile have lost two of their last three at home themselves, but do come off a nice 5-1 road victory over Vegas on Saturday.

This will be the second meeting between the two teams this season after the Kings won a 3-1 decision up in Edmonton back in November. However, the Kings need to be cautious here as the road team has dominated recent meetings in this series, winning nine of the last thirteen overall.

McDavid Continues To Rule The Roost While Oilers Stumble

Connor McDavid continues to have a sensational season this year, yet it’s done little to limit the recent problems the Edmonton Oilers have faced, losing seven of their last eleven games overall.

The Ontario native has continued to get it done regardless however, leading the league in total goals, total assists, and total points this year, as well as ranking joint first on total power play goals also.

Kings Offense Continues To Run Red-Hot

While the Kings generated just 2.33 goals per game across their last three home starts, it’s fair to say it hasn’t been for the lack of effort as LA ranks 3rd in the league this season on expected goals offensively.

Unfortunately for the Kings, a sub-10% shot conversion percentage has somewhat limited them this season, but with the number of chances they’re creating in every game, this is a team that should they get hot, can definitely cause a ton of problems for teams on the offensive end.

Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

While LA are certainly getting it done offensively this season, at least data-wise, only two teams sit above them in chances created this season, the Vegas Golden Knights, and their current opponents, the Edmonton Oilers.

Edmonton has no doubt struggled over their last few starts offensively, but a fresh road trip might have the ability to re-energize this team and frankly, whenever we see a situation where the #2 and #3 xG teams in the league are facing each other, the Over is always going to be the first look.

On top of that, the Over has already gone 11-5-2 in the last 18 meetings between the two teams when playing in Los Angeles, and we’re expecting more goals tonight between the Oilers and the Kings. Take the Over 6.5 on Monday.

Prediction: Over 6.5 Goals Scored
