Kings vs Oilers Prediction
These are two teams heading in different directions, and the fact the price is what it is is nuts. The Kings have lost each of their last 10 games dating back to last season, and their offense has disappeared recently. The Oilers are rolling on both ends of the ice. This price is insane if we’re being honest. I don’t get it, but I’m not asking any questions. The Kings have some showing and proving to do. Give me the Oilers.
