Thursday’s Kings vs Oilers matchup is a significant one for both of these teams in the Pacific Division. With second through fourth place in the Pacific separated by just four points, every point matters when considering playoff seeding. This game is no exception, as we could see the Oilers create some separation in the race for second place, or the Kings can pull themselves to within a point of Edmonton with just a handful of games to go.
Going into this game, the LA Kings are playing some of their best hockey of the year, having won four games in a row. Included in that winning streak were wins over the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Vancouver Canucks, with their win over the Canucks being especially impressive given where Vancouver stands in the Pacific this year. The Kings will look to keep their momentum rolling with a fifth straight victory tonight.
In order to get that victory, the defense of the Kings will need to step up against one of the most explosive offensive teams in the NHL. The Oilers lead all Pacific Division teams with 252 goals scored as a team in 70 games, for an average of 3.6 goals per game. Los Angeles has to be at its best on the defensive end of the ice if they want to neutralize Edmonton effectively enough to steal this game up in Canada.
Fortunately for the Kings, their defense has been playing at a very high level during their recent winning streak. The Kings have not allowed more than three goals in a game during their last four outings, giving up a total of seven goals during those four contests. We expect more of the same from the Kings defense here and for the visitors to come away with this Kings vs Oilers matchup.
