In their last outing against the San Jose Sharks, the Oilers dominated with a 5-0 victory. They came out strong right from the first period, scoring four goals and maintaining that lead throughout. Their shooting percentage was an impressive 17 percent, and they successfully blocked 12 shots while only allowing 25 shots on goal.


The game before that saw them secure a win against the New York Rangers with a final score of 4-3. Despite not scoring in the first two periods, they rallied in the third with all four goals securing another win. Their faceoff win percentage was notable at 59 percent which helped control possession and ultimately led to victory.


Looking further back, we see another strong performance by Edmonton against New Jersey Devils where they won with six goals to three. The Oilers managed an even-strength shooting percentage of 16 percent and took advantage of turnovers with twelve takeaways.


These statistics indicate that Edmonton is carrying significant momentum into this upcoming game against Los Angeles Kings. With high shooting percentages and effective puck control demonstrated by faceoff wins in recent games, it's clear that they're finding ways to dominate on both ends of the ice.


Fans should expect an exciting match as both teams will be looking for crucial points before ringing in the new year. The venue may pose challenges for Edmonton as visiting teams often do; however, based on current trends, it seems likely that Oilers will put up a formidable fight.


The game is scheduled for December 31st at Crypto.com Arena and can be watched live on ESPN+ or BSW channel 692 for those following from home territory starting at midnight UTC (December 30th local time).
