The Kings and Oilers are both off to solid starts, and they'll face off for the first time since their seven-game first-round series last spring. Let's examine the matchup in our Kings-Oilers picks.
The Los Angeles Kings are off to a 10-7-1 start (4-4-1 on the road), and they'll look to avenge their first-round playoff loss last this past spring against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night.
The Oilers have won two of their past three games to move to 9-7-1 on the season. However, they're only 4-5-0 at home.
