Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings Moneyline Prediction

The Oilers have been on a roll lately. They opened the 2026-27 season with an overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks but have won four straight since. Their 4-0-1 record ranks second in the Western Conference ahead of Tuesday’s slate, and they own the second-best offence in the league at 5.00 goals per game.

The Kings have endured an opposite start to the season, as they’re winless through four games (0-2-2). They’ve scored just 10 goals during that stretch (2.50 per game), but their biggest issues lie on the other end of the ice. The Kings have the league’s fourth-worst defence (4.25 goals against per game) and its second-worst penalty kill (56.3%).

Goaltending won’t separate them. Edmonton is projected to start Devon Levi, who has a perfect 3-0-0 record with a 3.35 GAA, while the Kings are likely to counter with Darcy Kuemper (0-2-1, 4.03 GAA). Kuemper has a slight edge in save percentage at .868 over Levi’s .863, but both figures rank below average.

The Oilers have yet to lose a game in regulation and hold a clear edge over the Kings in nearly every statistical aspect. Edmonton has also been tighter defensively (3.40 goals against per game) and holds the special-teams edge, sporting the 12th-best power-play unit in the league (22.2%). The Oilers are deserved favourites at -130.

Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings Player Prop

Connor McDavid is off to an excellent start with 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in his first five games. He should get enough opportunities to clear this line – something he’s done in four of his five appearances.

His role in the Oilers’ offence supports another dominant performance. The star playmaker is averaging 23:57 TOI per game and plays on the top line and the first power-play unit. That PP1 role should pay off against a Kings penalty kill that has killed off just 56.3% of opponents’ power plays.

Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings Total Goals Prediction

Edmonton scores 5.00 and allows 3.40 goals per game; Los Angeles scores 2.50 and allows 4.25. Three of the Oilers’ five games this season have cleared the 5.5-goal line, as have two of the Kings’ four.

Weak goaltending on both sides backs the Over. The Oilers and Kings each have a .853 team save percentage, and none of the four goalies who have played for either club is above .870.

Three of the last four head-to-head meetings from the 2025-26 regular season also went above the 5.5-goal mark, with the lone exception being the most recent game. Given the Oilers’ offensive firepower and the Kings’ poor defensive metrics, expect an open game.

Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings Team News

Edmonton Oilers Team News

The Oilers are in the midst of an injury crisis, with Colton Dach, Zach Hyman, Mattias Janmark, Alec Regula, and James Stefan all out due to undisclosed injuries. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (lower body) and Jake Walman (upper body) are game-time calls. Their return would provide a much-needed boost to a very depleted lineup.

However, their star-studded core of McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Evan Bouchard should carry them, forming one of the most dominant trios in the NHL. Bouchard has 12 points, one behind McDavid for the league lead, including a hat trick in the opener.

Tuesday’s clash is the last stop of the Oilers’ three-game California road trip, and they last played Saturday. They will return home after this meeting and will face the Utah Mammoth at Rogers Place on Thursday.

Los Angeles Kings Team News

The Kings will be thin in terms of forward depth, as they will be without Mats Zuccarello, Alex Turcotte, and Jan Jenik due to undisclosed injuries, as well as Kevin Fiala due to a lower-leg problem. Erik Haula and Trevor Moore might be among those who play a bigger role because of the Kings’ rash of recent injuries.

The good news is that players such as Artemi Panarin (three goals), Brandt Clarke (three assists), and Alex Laferriere (three points) are all healthy. The Kings have played only four games in the season’s first 15 days, so rest won’t be an issue, and they don’t play again until Saturday.
