Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/05/25

The Edmonton Oilers are set to take on the Los Angeles Kings in a Saturday afternoon matchup between 2 teams jockeying for points in the Western Conference playoff race. These teams have split the first 2 meetings this season, and the edge in this one could go to Los Angeles. The Oilers will be short-handed yet again, as Connor McDavid is still sidelined with a lower body injury, and after a brief return, Leon Draisaitl will be out with an undisclosed injury. Edmonton has won its last 3 games with Drasaitl in the lineup, but extending that win streak to 4 could prove to be difficult in this one.

The Oilers will be playing their third straight road game, and 4th in their last 5 contests. On the other side, the Kings will be playing on home ice for the 7th time in their last 9 games. Los Angeles has won 3 in a row, and 5 of its last 6 at home. With the way the Kings are looking right now, along with the fact that they are going up against a short-handed Edmonton squad, I’ll be backing Los Angeles in regulation.
