Players in the Spotlight

For this Kings vs Oilers prediction, the player props it is also important. At Godds, we’re going to explore a few NHL player stats so you can fine-tune your hockey bets.

Connor McDavid hasn’t found the back of the net in nine consecutive games for the Oilers, marking his longest goal drought of the season. However, his contribution remains significant, with 21 assists during this stretch and only one game without a point — a shutout defeat to the Kings.

Against the Kings in his previous 25 encounters, McDavid rarely misses a beat, failing to score in back-to-back games just twice and netting goals in seven out of his last 11 regular-season matchups with L.A. Monday presents a prime opportunity for him to snap this unusual streak.

Meanwhile, Zach Hyman is on a hot streak, scoring twice against the Flames and achieving goals in four consecutive games.

Since his arrival at the Oilers, Hyman has scored twice in 10 matchups with L.A., although he hasn’t scored in their last five regular-season games.
