Oilers vs Kings Prediction

I’m on the Oilers here. Both of these teams have been hot as of late, but the problem for the Kings is that while the defense continues to show up, the offense has been running dry as the number of goals scored has been dipping in recent games. The Kings will be fine, but I think that the Oilers at home with a more trustworthy offense right now take care of business and get the job done. Give me the Oilers at home in this one.
