The Edmonton Oilers will look to snap a four-game losing streak when they face the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena on Thursday, February 26.<\/p>\n

My top Oilers vs. Kings predictions and NHL picks<\/a> are calling for Edmonton backup Connor Ingram to see more than enough rubber to clear his modest saves total tonight.<\/p>\n

Oilers vs Kings prediction<\/p>\n

Oilers vs Kings best bet:\u00a0Connor Ingram Over 23.5 saves (-130)<\/p>\n

Edmonton Oilers<\/a> backup Connor Ingram<\/a> is set to see plenty of rubber against the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> tonight, and I\u2019m anticipating him turning away 24 or more shots.<\/p>\n

The Kings average 28.2 shots per home game and tilt the ice in their favor at five-on-five with a fifth-ranked 54.0 Corsi For percentage, and the Oilers are playing their second road game in consecutive nights.<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s nothing flashy about Ingram\u2019s .895 save percentage, he doesn\u2019t need to be flashy to clear this total with the Kings ranking among the league\u2019s best possession teams.<\/p>\n

Oilers vs Kings same-game parlay<\/p>\n

There have been at least seven goals in each of the past eight games the Oilers have played, and Edmonton has scored 37 times while allowing 48 during the high-scoring stretch.<\/p>\n

With Los Angeles also playing the second leg of a back-to-back set, I\u2019m anticipating plenty of goals again tonight.<\/p>\n

The final leg of this same-game parlay targets Oil winger Ryan Nugent-Hopkins<\/a>, and he\u2019s picked up an assist in five of his past seven games while skating in a go-to role alongside superstar Connor McDavid<\/a>. I like the duo to stay hot, considering they\u2019ve been on the ice for a sizzling 6.77 goals per 60 minutes this season.<\/p>\n
