This is a big game with the Kings trying to take second place from the Oilers in the Pacific Division. So I'm expecting a more conservative, tight-checking game than perceived.

Both teams have been getting good goalie play.

This is the Oilers' third West Coast game. They've given up just one goal in each of the first two games on their trip against the Ducks and Sharks.

LA has been in excellent defensive form, too. The Kings have surrendered seven goals in their last three games. That's going against high-powered attacks facing the Flames twice and Jets once.
