The last game on next Thursday night’s NHL schedule will feature the clash between the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings, teams that will face each other at 09:30 pm CST at the Crypto.com Arena. For this divisional game, the odds haven’t supported a clear favorite to win, but it’s necessary to note that the Kings are expected to show a better image after the disastrous third period they faced against the Golden Knights last Tuesday.
Looking deeper at the LA Kings' performance, it should be noted that they were able to handle the Golden Knights last Tuesday during the first two periods, during which they were able to go in front (2-1) with a couple of assists from Artemi Panarin. However, the Kings’ defense totally disappeared in the third period, as they conceded four goals from the 8th to the 15th minute, so this game against the Oilers is a must-win for them.
As for the Edmonton Oilers, this will also be a big chance for them to look for redemption after losing their first game after the Olympic break against the Anaheim Ducks (6-5), a game in which the Oilers experienced a very similar situation as they lost a 4-2 advantage during the third period. With that loss, the Oilers are now on a four-game losing streak, which is really concerning, as they are now six points behind the top four spots in the Western Conference standings.
