My top Oilers vs. Kings predictions and NHL picks are calling for Edmonton backup Connor Ingram to see more than enough rubber to clear his modest saves total tonight.
Oilers vs Kings prediction
Oilers vs Kings best bet: Connor Ingram Over 23.5 saves (-130)
Edmonton Oilers backup Connor Ingram is set to see plenty of rubber against the Los Angeles Kings tonight, and I’m anticipating him turning away 24 or more shots.
The Kings average 28.2 shots per home game and tilt the ice in their favor at five-on-five with a fifth-ranked 54.0 Corsi For percentage, and the Oilers are playing their second road game in consecutive nights.

While there’s nothing flashy about Ingram’s .895 save percentage, he doesn’t need to be flashy to clear this total with the Kings ranking among the league’s best possession teams.
Oilers vs Kings same-game parlay
There have been at least seven goals in each of the past eight games the Oilers have played, and Edmonton has scored 37 times while allowing 48 during the high-scoring stretch.
With Los Angeles also playing the second leg of a back-to-back set, I’m anticipating plenty of goals again tonight.
The final leg of this same-game parlay targets Oil winger Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and he’s picked up an assist in five of his past seven games while skating in a go-to role alongside superstar Connor McDavid. I like the duo to stay hot, considering they’ve been on the ice for a sizzling 6.77 goals per 60 minutes this season.
