Yeah, the Oilers have given themselves a good cushion. It is a bit of a hailmary for the Kings to catch them. It would definitely take LA sweeping the 3 games against them. If they do that and win their game in hand suddenly they close the gap to 2 points with each team having 13 games remaining. If wins are in regulation I believe the Kings would then be up on ROW. 13 isn't impossible to make up the 2 points.
Pretty big stretch of games here as both teams play 5 home games before they are set to play their first of three meetings. If the losing streak becomes multiple games it will make things interesting it LA gets on a roll.
