Los Angeles suffered another blow to its playoff hopes with a 5-2 loss to Calgary Sunday night and now the Kings have to play a back-to-back at Edmonton. Kings goalie Jonathan Quick didn't make it through the first period as he was relieved by Ben Bishop after being beaten twice on Calgary's first eight shots. Ben Bishop came in and saved 14-of-16 shots. Edmonton had scored 14 goals its previous two games before defeating Vancouver 2-0 on Saturday. Connor McDavid and Mark Letestu scored for the Oilers and Cam Talbot made 33 saves. The Oilers are 6-1-1 OVER after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. The OVER is 8-2-2 the last 12 meetings and Edmonton is 7-3-1 OVER its last 11 home games. Take the Kings and the OVER.
