Los Angeles Kings at Edmonton Oilers Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to win as an underdog in Edmonton.

The Oilers are a tough nut to crack at home, but we cannot ignore the Kings’ recent record against their hosts and the manner in which they have won the last few games.

  • Los Angeles Kings are 10-2 in their previous 12 games
  • Los Angeles Kings are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings with Edmonton
  • Los Angeles Kings have out-scored Edmonton 20-8 in the 5 meetings this year
  • The Over cashed in the first 2 games of this series

Head To Head

  • Edmonton Oilers lead the all-time series 144-109-34
  • Los Angeles Kings won 6-2 when the two teams last met on April 23

Los Angeles Kings Form

Los Angeles head to Canada holding a 2-0 lead in the series thanks to back-to-back wins at home.

The Kings beat Edmonton twice in the final few weeks of the regular season, shutting them out both times, and they continued that dominance in the first two postseason meetings.

They edged the Oilers in the opening game of this series, 6-5, and then backed that up with a 6-2 success to take control.

Los Angeles secured their spot in the playoffs by going 50-22-10 in the regular season to finish atop the Pacific Division.

This is the fourth straight season that the Kings have made the playoffs, but they failed to make it past the first round in each of the previous three seasons, losing to the Oilers each time.

Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton return home still seeking a first victory in the 2025 playoffs, having lost back-to-back games to start this series.

This is the fourth straight season that they have met Los Angeles in the first round of the postseason, but if they want to repeat their previous three successes they need to get on track.

The Oilers were beaten 6-5 in Game 1 in Los Angeles, and then suffered a 6-2 defeat in their second road game of this series to go 2-0 down.

Edmonton earned their place in the playoffs by putting together a 48-29-5 record to finish third the Pacific Division.

As mentioned previously, the Oilers beat Los Angeles in the first round in each of the previous three seasons, and the latest of those victories proved to be the start of a successful run to Stanley Cup glory.

Verdict

Los Angeles are on the hunt for revenge and it has been a case of so far so good.

Winning in Edmonton will be a tough task, but the Kings have been rattling in the goals against the Oilers in recent times so we fancy their chances here.
