In this article, we will formulate a Kings vs Oilers prediction for this NHL game on Monday, April 14, at Rogers Place in Edmonton, AB. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this NHL matchup.

Los Angeles Kings Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Kings (46-24-9, 39-40 ATS) won 15 of the previous 19 games, including six of the last seven, and are one of the hottest teams in the NHL just before the playoffs. They were on a four-game homestand on which the Kings beat the Oilers, lost to the Kraken, and defeated the Ducks and Avalanche. The Kings are 2nd in the Pacific Division with 101 points, two ahead of the Oilers.

The Kings score 3.00 goals per game on average (15th), while they concede 2.44 GPG (2nd). This season, Adrian Kempe leads the team with 68 points (33 G and 35 A). Anze Kopitar has 65 points (21 G and 24 A), while Kevin Fiala chips in with 56 points (34 G and 22 A).

Darcy Kuemper (30-11-7) is expected to start for the Kings at the goal on Monday against the Oilers. The 34-year-old is allowing 2.05 goals per game this year with a .921 SV% and five shutouts.

Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview

The Edmonton Oilers (47-28-5, 29-51 ATS) won the last three games and stayed alive in the race for the 2nd place in the Pacific Division and a home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. The Oilers defeated the Blues, Sharks, and Jets, scoring four goals in each game. Right now, Edmonton is 3rd in the Pacific with 99 points, and a win here could be crucial.

The Oilers average 3.20 goals per game this year (11th), while they allow 2.88 GPG (14th). Leon Draisaitl leads the team with 106 points (52 G and 54 A). Connor McDavid contributes 99 points (26 G and 73 A), while Evan Bouchard has 67 points (14 G and 53 A).

Calvin Pickard (22-9-1) will likely take his place in the cage for the Oilers on Monday against the Kings. The 32-year-old is allowing 2.64 goals per game this year with a .902 SV% and no shutouts.

Kings vs Oilers Prediction

The Oilers won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last six. This season, though, the Kings won two of three H2Hs, 4-3 and 3-0 in Los Angeles, while the Oilers won 1-0 in Edmonton. The hosts will likely be without Draisailt and Nugent-Hopkins on Monday, which will limit their offense. The Kings have the second-best defense in the NHL and should be able to contain the Oilers. Seven of Edmonton's last ten games went Under. Two of three H2Hs this season also went Under, and I am going with another low-scoring affair here.
