Los Angeles +176 over Edmonton

9:00 PM ET. Sticking with it. That’s the theme for this wager, as we back the Kings here after a frustrating loss to Calgary on Saturday night. It’s tempting to throw in the towel on a team that dominates but fails to cash, but abandoning a solid process because of one unlucky result is a fast track to bad decisions.

The Kings outplayed Calgary in every conceivable way, outshooting the Flames 32-18, controlling the tempo, and creating the lion’s share of quality chances. Yet they ran into Dustin Wolf, a rookie goalie who decided Saturday was his moment to shine. This isn’t about making excuses but rather recognizing that the Kings did everything but win. If they replicate that performance, they’ll be well-positioned to get back in the win column here.

The Oilers are a formidable opponent, no doubt. Winners of five of their last six, Edmonton boasts the league’s most explosive offense, with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the charge. Yet even with all their firepower, there are cracks in the foundation. McDavid has been uncharacteristically quiet lately, held off the scoresheet in three of his last five games. The Oilers’ defensive play remains inconsistent, and their reliance on their top two stars is a vulnerability against a deep and disciplined team like the Kings.

We also love the spot here for the Kings as a motivated underdog. They’ve been a thorn in Edmonton’s side this season, most recently beating them 4-3 in overtime on Dec. 28. The Kings know how to play the Oilers, and they’ve shown they can frustrate Edmonton’s stars. Regardless, the value is too good to pass up. Go Kings Go!
