Los Angeles Kings at Edmonton Oilers
The Kings have reeled off six straight wins dating back to before the Olympics and haven’t allowed more than one goal against in five of those six games. The team defense has been absolutely stifling as the team has allowed more than 25 shots against in just one of those six games as well. On top of that, the power play has finally started to roll with four conversions in 18 chances since Sochi. Goaltender Jonathan Quick has allowed just three goals against in his last four games on 83 shots against. That’s a save percentage of .964 over his last four games.
Edmonton is amazingly 4-1-2 in their last seven games despite scoring just 13 total goals in those games. Somehow, this team has managed to hold opponents to an average of 29 shots a game against in their last four games so the team defense has been markedly improved of late. They’re not generating much up front in return but the results have shown that the team is better of this way. The Oilers have also scored power play goals in back to back games for the first time since the end of December.
The Kings have beaten the Oilers in their two games against each other so far this year but one was in a shootout and the other was a 3-0 shutout. In all, there was five total goals scored even though the Kings outshot the Oilers by an average of 23 per games. With the way the Kings offense has been rolling lately and the team defense they’ve been playing, I expect this game to be closer to 3-0 than the 2-1 shootout game from earlier in the year. This would make Jonathan Quick a good play in net regardless of the type of DFS game.
