When the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings faced each other back on December 28th, the Kings came away with an OT win in front of a raucous Crypto.com Arena crowd after the Oilers blew their third period lead.

Stuart Skinner stopped 31 shots to earn his second shutout of the season and sixth of his career as the Oilers won for the sixth time in seven games to move ahead of the Kings into second place in the Pacific Division. The Oilers are four points behind first-place Vegas.

Stuart Skinner should be getting a free dinner on the Oilers' upcoming road trip. He was their best player on Monday night, stopping all 31 shots he faced en route to a huge 1-0 win over the division-rival Los Angeles Kings that gives them a four-point cushion in the standings.

The Los Angeles Kings continued their road trip with a stop in Edmonton to play the Oilers on Monday night (Jan. 13) in a huge divisional contest. This game was very sloppy throughout, with an abundance of missed passes which led to a lot of offsides and whistles.
