- The Oilers are a 1.5-goal home favorite against the Kings.
- The Oilers have won each of their last eight games as home favorites.
- My Oilers vs Kings prediction is the Los Angeles Kings moneyline.
With a chance to win a fourth straight game and close out the series, the Oilers host the Kings on Thursday.
After dropping the first two games of the series, Edmonton stormed back to capture three wins in a row. In Game 5, the Oilers handed the Kings a 3-1 loss.
For Los Angeles, the offense drying up has caused them problems recently. After notching six goals in each of the first two games, they’ve combined for only eight in the last three.

Kings vs Oilers: Prediction
Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Oilers vs. Kings prediction for Thursday’s game is the Kings Moneyline (+135).
Despite struggling in the last three games, the Kings fit the historical profile of a team that sends this series to a seventh game.
Essentially, the theory of this system suggests looking for underdogs on a losing streak with prior postseason experience.
Since 2006, conference road dogs on a one- or three-game losing streak are 113-104 SU, assuming they reached the playoffs the prior season.
Just when those underdogs find themselves on a three-game losing streak: 23-16 SU for a 52.4% return on investment, per Bet Labs.
Somewhat interestingly, that system works better against favorites that also achieved a postseason berth the previous year.
Shrink the sample down to games that feature an experienced home favorite, and the dog improves to 94-87 SU for a 25.4% return on investment.
Within that sample, underdogs riding a three-game losing streak against an experienced favorite are 23-13 SU for a 65.1% return on investment.
As a result, consider backing the Kings to extend the series on Thursday in Edmonton.
