Even though we're over halfway into this regular season in the West for the Los Angeles Kings (18-15-10), this squad hasn't faced the rival Edmonton Oilers (22-16-6) in the Pacific Division until this evening at Rogers Place in Alberta. The Kings are facing the team that has knocked them out of the postseason in the first round of the playoffs in the West for the past four years.
Jim Hiller and the Los Angeles Kings face the Edmonton Oilers in a key matchup in the Pacific Division for the first time this regular season in the West
Assuming the Kings finish this regular season in the West on a strong footing this spring, there could be a rematch in the first round of the playoffs in the Pacific Division between LA and the Oilers in the postseason.
The Kings need to rally after being embarrassed in the front end of back-to-back games yesterday on the road north of the border in Canada against the Winnipeg Jets, by a convincing score of 5-1. Hiller and the Kings could get veteran winger Corey Perry back in the active roster lineup tonight on the forward lines group vs. Edmonton.
Here are the betting odds and spread information for the matchup between the Kings and Oilers in the back end of back-to-back games this weekend north of the border in Canada on the road at Rogers Place in Edmonton, AB, on Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. PT.
