Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction & Picks, October 13, 2026

The Kings are facing the Oilers, and this matchup is like a tug-of-war. The Kings have a solid group of left shooters, with 40 out of 68 skaters, which helps create a strong offensive push. Meanwhile, the Oilers have won five of their last ten games, showing they can be tough to beat. I'm picking the Kings to win the third period. They have home ice advantage at Crypto.com Arena, which can give them a boost. It's a close call, though, since both teams are pretty evenly matched. The biggest risk is that the Oilers have been playing well lately, making it tough for the Kings to pull off the win.

Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers: Under 5.5 Total Goals (+120)

Betting on under 5.5 goals at +120 is a solid choice for this matchup. Both the Los Angeles Kings and Edmonton Oilers have shown they can keep games low-scoring at times. With the Kings' roster featuring a mix of left and right shooters and the Oilers being similarly balanced, it might be hard for either team to find their rhythm offensively. The key risk here is that both teams are quite competitive, and the game could easily go either way. However, our numbers suggest a combined total of about 5.9 goals, which leans towards the under. With both teams focused on solid defense and goaltenders likely stepping up, this bet has a fair shot at cashing in.

Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers: Los Angeles Kings +2.5 Puck Lines (-435)

The Los Angeles Kings have a solid chance to keep things close against the Edmonton Oilers. With the Kings at home and facing an Oilers team that has won half of their last ten games, it's clear that this matchup could be tight. The Kings have most of their players shooting left, which could help them create opportunities against the Oilers' defense. Betting on the Kings to cover +2.5 gives a good cushion. However, the Oilers have shown they can score, so there's a real risk if they get on a roll early. Overall, the Kings are looking strong, and with this line, it feels like a smart pick to stay competitive in this game.
