Oilers VS Kings Picks & Predictions

Moneyline Pick: Edmonton Oilers

After pulling off the bounce-back win in game two of their first-round series, look for the Oilers to exact some revenge against their opponents, stealing a win on the road against the Kings.

Utilizing their fast pace playstyle to control the tempo of their last matchup, look for the Oilers to have no trouble commanding the outcome of the game from start to finish, playing aggressively whenever they’re on the attack. While the Kings offence has looked solid in bursts, they don’t hold a candle to the terrific upside held by the star-studded lineup of the Oilers.

Bet the Oilers moneyline tonight as they look to secure the one-game lead over the Kings, providing themselves a major momentum boost as they search to close out the series.

Puckline Pick: Los Angeles Kings (+1.5)

While we fully expect to see the Oilers take home the victory in hostile territory, don’t think that the Kings aren’t capable of keeping things close. Sporting one of the best defensive forward groups, the Kings make it incredibly difficult for teams to generate easy scoring chances against them

The Kings have a tenacity on the ice that simply can’t be manufactured, playing with intensity and physicality from the opening faceoff to the final buzzer. Since they will lose the scoring battle if they attempt to go shot-for-shot with the Oilers, look for the Kings instead to try and slow the game down and ugly it up in order to pull off the upset win.

Back the Kings to stay well within striking distance in this game, making it hard for the Oilers to enact their game plan, covering the puckline as underdogs in game three.

Over/Under: Under 6.5 Goals

Both teams have showcased a plethora of offensive talent throughout the 2022-23 NHL season, but look for the Under to serve as the best bet on tonight’s Oilers VS Kings tilt. Through the first two games of their first-round playoff series, the scoring has been consistent, hovering around the six-goal line.

With the line set at 6.5 total goals, be sure to fade this line as goals have been too inconsistent with these teams. While there is value to be found with betting the Over on this game, the Under is the safe pick that will more than likely net you a winning wager on this matchup.

If you’re deadset on betting the Over, don’t be afraid to tease the line, betting Over 5.5 goals rather than the standard 6.5 set by oddsmakers.

With the game now being played at Crypto.com Arena, look for the style of play to slow down as the Kings faithful galvanize their team to command control of the puck, slowing down the game speed, resulting in the Under hitting in tonight’s contest.

Best Oilers VS Kings Player Prop Bets

Adrian Kempe Anytime Goal Scorer

In the midst of a stellar postseason, back Kings forward, Adrian Kempe to keep his hot streak rolling by scoring a goal against the Oilers this evening.

Having scored two goals in game one, Kempe has proven that he has the skillset to break through the defence of the Oilers and generate scoring chances for himself and his team. Kempe may not have scored a goal in game two but had several great looks as he registered four shots on goal in his one-point outing in game two.

Look for Kempe to be at the forefront of the Kings offence this evening and bet on him to score a goal at anytime over the course of tonight’s NHL Playoff action.

Leon Draisaitl Over 1.5 Points

Looking virtually unstoppable when he’s on the ice in this series, bank on former-Hart Trophy recipient, Leon Draisaitl to once again light up the scoreboard, racking up Over 1.5 points against the Kings.

Having scored five-points through the first two games of the postseason, Draisaitl has picked up where he left off from the regular season, unleashing a dominant offensive game that the Kings simply don’t have an answer for. Able to hurt his opposition both as a scorer as well as a passer, look for the German superstar to continue piling up playoff points in game three.

Draisaitl has scored two or more points in both postseason games played this season, look for this trend to continue and bet the Over on his point total against the Kings.
