Edmonton Oilers vs LA Kings game preview and injuries

The Oilers have got to stop putting their fans in such predicaments as this seems to be far too often now. They were 2-0 down and on the brink of an exit before pulling back level on terms as they hope to take the lead now away from home. The Oilers are likely to play without Mattias Ekholm for the rest of round one and Alec Regula for the rest of the season due to their ongoing injuries.
The Kings have a home game to take advantage of as their first two wins came at home as well. The side will hope to restore their scoring prowess as they have struggled in front of goal in the last two games. The Kings missed out on winger Tanner Jeannot in the previous game as he is turning out to be a big miss for the side.
