Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton’s projected lineup for game against the Los Angeles Kings| January 13, 2025

The Edmonton Oilers are back in action tonight against the Los Angeles Kings. These two teams are currently battling it out in the Pacific Division. Edmonton is second with a record of 26-13-3, and the Kings are 24-11-5. Only two points separate these two in the standings heading into tonight.

Edmonton currently has very few injuries to deal with heading into tonight's matchup with LA. The team is only missing Evander Kane. The winger has been on long-term injured reserve the entire season, though, so their normal 2024-25 lineup is fully available.
