The Oilers are coming into this game with a 21-11-2 record this season and they have been on fire in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight as well as 8 of their last 9 games and their defense has been great in these. They have allowed 2 goals or less in each of their last 3 games. They have also been great on the road recently as they have won 4 of their last 5 games on the road and they have allowed 1 goal or less in each of their last 3 road games, winning their last road game 7-1 against the Wild. They are going up against a Kings team that is 19-10-5 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 games and their defense has allowed 3+ goals in all 4 of those games. Their offense has been a much bigger problem though, scoring just 2 goals or less in 3 of their last 4 games and scoring just 1 goal in their last game as well. The Kings have been much better at home this season and they have actually won their last 5 straight games there with their defense playing much better, but the Oilers are not a team they have played well against in recent meetings. This will be their 1st meeting since playing each other in the playoffs last year and the Oilers won that series 4-1. The Oilers also took both games in LA with the Kings scoring just 1 goal total in those 2 games. They also allowed 7 goals total between those 2 home games and they could not keep the Oilers out of their net all series, allowing 4+ goals in 4 of the 5 games of that series. The Oilers have been very hot recently and that break was exactly what they needed to recharge as they were beating bad teams in closer games right before the break. The Oilers will be refreshed and they are going to come out strong in this game against a team they have dominated in recent meetings. The Oilers will win this game.
