Edmonton Oilers (47-28-5) vs Los Angeles Kings (46-24-9)
Monday, April 14, 2025 at 10:00 pm
My selection is on Los Angeles over Edmonton at 10:05 pm et on Monday.
The Oilers enter this matchup riding a three-game winning streak, capped by a 4-1 victory in Winnipeg last night. However, this back-to-back situation presents a tough challenge, especially with travel involved and just two games remaining before the playoffs. Edmonton has little to gain by going all-out here, especially with Connor McDavid recently returning and several key contributors still banged up.
Los Angeles, on the other hand, comes in rested and playing well, having won six of its last seven games. The Kings have been dialed in defensively and are catching Edmonton at the right time. With playoff positioning still a factor and a healthier roster, the Kings should bring a focused, playoff-style effort on Monday.
This looks like a prime spot for a disciplined and determined Kings squad to capitalize on a tired and potentially less interested Oilers team.
Take Los Angeles. Projected score: Kings 3, Oilers 2.
Sean’s Pick Los Angeles Kings: -102
