The Holiday season is coming to a end, and the Edmonton Oilers have just touched down in California for their highly anticipated 1st round playoff rematch.
The Edmonton Oilers are entering Crypto.com arenawith a 3 game winning streak, coming off an impressive 3-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators.
With that being said, tomorrow's game against the Kings should be a big test, as the LA Kings have also been one of the hottest teams in the NHL this season.
In their last 10 games, both the Edmonton Oilers and LA Kings boast an impressive 8-2 record.
However, while the Kings appear to have hit a bit of a plateau, the Edmonton are hitting their stride and gaining momentum at the perfect time.
The Kings concluded their second seven-game road trip with an identical record of 3-2-2 to their first seven-game road trip to start the season. In the last four games of this road trip, they managed a record of 1-1-2, which many would describe as a point-accruing slide.
Viktor Arvidsson faces his old team
