Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers (41-25-5; 33-38 ATS) defeated the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday in overtime, 2-1. That was the fifth straight victory for the Oilers and they are 7-2-1 in their last 10, helping to propel them one point ahead of the Kings for second place in the Pacific Division. Edmonton trails Calgary by four points for the top spot.
Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal 31 seconds into overtime. He has six goals in his last five games, giving him 41 total for the season. Mike Smith stopped 31 of 32 shots, a welcome sight for this team as he has allowed a single goal in each of his last two contests after allowing nine total goals in his previous two. The Oilers are looking for improved play out of their goaltenders, who are 22nd at 3.18 goals allowed per contest.
Los Angeles Kings
The Los Angeles Kings (38-24-10; 44-28 ATS) lost to Calgary on Monday, 3-2. The loss dropped Los Angeles to 5-3-2 in their last 10 games, and they suddenly find themselves in third place in the division. Los Angeles is only 18-15-4 at home this season, as they have been a much better road team at 20-9-6.
Adrian Kempe scored both goals for Los Angeles and now has 31 on the season to lead Los Angeles. However, he has only 16 assists and his 47 points are second on the club. That is not a very big total for the runner-up in team points on a club with Stanley Cup aspirations. The Kings are 21st in goals per game at 2.82.
