(My Sportsbook) - The Los Angeles Kings will try for their second win versus the Edmonton Oilers this season, and attempt to snap a brief losing streak as well, when the two teams meet tonight at the Staples Center.

The Kings have lost two straight following back-to-back wins, dropping Tuesday's road test in Phoenix, 4-2. Alexander Frolov scored in his third straight game and for the fifth time in six contests, while Oscar Moller also lit the lamp for Los Angeles.

Erik Ersberg allowed three goals on 25 shots in the losing effort and has never faced the Oilers before in his career. That could prompt the Kings to go with Jason LaBarbera in net tonight.

LaBarbera is just 4-6-1 with a 2.79 goals against average this year, while Ersberg is 6-5-2 with a 2.35 GAA. However, LaBarbera was in net when the Kings posted a 2-1 win in Edmonton on November 26, a victory that moved him to 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA lifetime against Edmonton. He stopped 22-of-23 shots faced in the win.

Anze Kopitar and Patrick O'Sullivan each had a goal and an assist for the Kings in that victory, with Kopitar's second-period tally being the game- winner.

The Kings play the first of two straight at home tonight, and they are 7-6-3 as the host team this year. Both Brad Richardson (lacerated foot) and Denis Gauthier (bruised right foot) are questionable for tonight's game.

The Oilers hit the road for back-to-back games beginning tonight, and they halted a five-game home losing streak with Wednesday's 5-2 win over Dallas. The victory was Edmonton's second in its last three games.

Lubomir Visnovsky, Ales Hemsky and Andrew Cogliano each scored a goal and added an assist for Edmonton, while Shawn Horcoff and Marc-Antoine Pouliot also scored. Mathieu Garon snapped a personal five-game losing streak and won for the first time since October 18 with a 23-save effort.

Hemsky, who scored Edmonton's lone goal in its loss to Los Angeles earlier this year, has three goals and six assists over a six-game points streak, while Horcoff has two goals and four helpers over his last four games.

The Oilers, who play in San Jose on Saturday, are 8-8-0 on the road this year.

Tonight's game will mark the return of Visnovsky to the Staples Center for the first time since the Kings dealt him to the Oilers this past offseason. Visnovsky spent the first seven seasons of his career with LA after the club took him in the fourth round of the 2000 draft.

He posted 70 goals and 209 assists in 499 games with the team, including eight goals and 33 assists in 82 games last year. In 24 tests with the Oilers this year, the 32-year-old defenseman has five goals and nine helpers for 14 points.
