Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings Prediction
I’m on the Oilers here. I just still haven’t forgotten about the Kings’ struggles at home this season and I’m not just going to blindly ignore it as they’ve been one of the least profitable teams at home in the NHL this year. Edmonton’s on fire offensively, and I just don’t think the Kings have enough to keep pace in this one. Give me Edmonton.
