Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings Prediction

I’m on the Oilers here. The Kings have to show me something before I put my hard earned money on them long term. Edmonton has issues of their own and it’s still hard for me to trust their goaltending, but I think that the Oilers are just the better team and we’re getting them at a bit of a discount here. Give me the Oilers.
