EDMONTON -- The Los Angeles Kings play the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place on Sunday (9:30 p.m. ET; SN, SN360, SN1, FS-W) looking to extend a four-game winning streak.

Los Angeles lost their first three games of the season but were able to turn things around, in large part because of the play of center Tyler Toffoli, who has six goals in seven games.

"I think we're finding our way here," Toffoli said. "Obviously we had a tough start. But we're finding our game and we have to keep going."

The Kings (4-3-0) won three of five games against the Oilers (3-5-0) last season and have won eight of the past 10 against them.

Los Angeles scored 11 goals in their four wins after scoring two goals in their first three losses.

The No. 1 pick in the 2015 NHL Draft has always admired the No. 1 selection from 2004.

"You always watch someone like that, he speaks for himself, so it's going to be pretty cool," McDavid said following the Oilers morning skate. "The way he shoots it from anywhere, he can get it off so fast, it's pretty dangerous. That's probably why he has so many goals."

Ovechkin, 30, has five goals and two assists in five games for Washington (5-1-0) this season. He scored the game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.

The game is Washington’s third in four nights, but Capitals coach Barry Trotz said he does not expect his team to be fatigued.

“It’s more mental that it is physical, the players are in such great shape, it’s about getting your mind wrapped around a short three-hour [game],” Trotz said. “When you’re playing back-to-back and you’re playing a team with great team speed and are a very talented group. You can’t make mistakes, you have to make sure you’re mentally sharp and are managing the game correctly.”

EDMONTON -- Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid and Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin last played against each other at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship in January.

On Wednesday, (9:30 p.m., ET; SN1) the two standout rookies meet for the first time in the NHL as the Oilers (2-4-0) attempt to extend their win streak to three games while the Red Wings (3-2-0) look to end a two-game losing streak.

"We know each other a little bit," Larkin said. "I wouldn't say [our careers] have been really parallel until this year. But he's a generational talent and he's a first-overall draft pick and he's off to a great start. I got to meet him this summer for the first time in person. I was very impressed with how nice he was as a guy and it's cool to see a guy like that be so good at something he's always wanted to do."

EDMONTON -- Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid will make his home debut Thursday against the St. Louis Blues, ushering in a final era for Rexall Place.

With Edmonton moving into a new downtown arena next season, the game marks the final home opener for a building that housed five Stanley Cup championship teams.

McDavid, however, is more concerned with trying to help the Oilers (0-3-0) earn their first win of the season and avenge a season-opening loss to St. Louis (2-1-0) a week ago.

"We saw them and they are, obviously, one of the best teams in the League," McDavid said. "They play a hard-nosed game, a heavy-checking kind of game. There is not going to be a lot of open ice out there and we'll have to bear down on our chances when they come."

EDMONTON -- Three players will be making their NHL debuts at Rexall Place on Thursday when the Edmonton Oilers host the San Jose Sharks (9:30 p.m. ET; SN360, CSN-CA PLUS).

Oilers goaltender Laurent Brossoit will get his first NHL start and forward Curtis Hamilton will also be in the lineup.

Sharks forward Bryan Lerg, 29, will play his first NHL game after 353 minor-league games.

Edmonton (24-43-13) and San Jose (39-32-9) are each out of contention for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

EDMONTON -- The Los Angeles Kings are living in the moment and not concerned with past games against the Edmonton Oilers.

While the Oilers are still lamenting an 8-2 loss to the Kings last Thursday, Los Angeles goes into the rematch at Rexall Place on Tuesday (9:30 p.m. ET; SN1, SNE, SNO, SNP, PRIME), focused on earning a win as it attempts to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

"They'll be ready, that's not an issue," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said at the team hotel Tuesday. "It doesn't matter if the score was 2-1 or 10-2. It doesn't matter. It's still about the game."

The Kings are tied with the Calgary Flames for third place in the Pacific Division and a point behind the Winnipeg Jets for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. Calgary, Winnipeg and Los Angeles play Tuesday; the Flames host the Arizona Coyotes and the Jets are at the St. Louis Blues. Each team has two more games remaining.

EDMONTON -- Edmonton Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will not play against the Calgary Flames on Saturday because of a lower-body injury.

With Nugent-Hopkins out, the Oilers will move forward Taylor Hall from left wing to center on the top line between Benoit Pouliot and Jordan Eberle.

EDMONTON -- Calgary Flames coach Bob Hartley did not reveal if forward Sam Bennett would play against the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place on Saturday (10 p.m. ET; CBC).

Calgary (42-29-7) is one point ahead of the Los Angeles Kings for third place in the Pacific Division. The Kings play host to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday.

The Flames recalled Bennett, 18, from the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League on Friday. Kingston was eliminated by the North Bay Battalion in the first-round of the OHL playoffs Thursday, allowing Calgary to recall Bennett from his junior team.

“Everyone is a game-time decision,” Hartley said. “At the meeting this morning, we told everyone to be ready. We have four games left and that’s where we’re at. We’re going to put the best 20 players on the ice that we feel give us the best chance to win the game.”

EDMONTON -- The Dallas Stars are like a hamster in a wheel, currently on a good run but not making up much ground toward a berth into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Stars won nine of their past 11 games going in to play the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place on Friday (9:30 p.m. ET; SN1, TXA 21), but remain eight points behind the Winnipeg Jets for the second wild card into the playoffs from the Western Conference.

"There are a lot of good teams in this League and all we can control is what we can do right now and that's just keep winning games," Stars forward Jamie Benn said. "Then at the end of the year, we'll see where we're sitting."

EDMONTON -- Defenseman Andrew Ference and center Boyd Gordon will not be in the lineup for the Edmonton Oilers against the Colorado Avalanche at Rexall Place on Wednesday.

Ference sustained a concussion in a 4-1 loss against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. The Oilers' captain was hit by Jets forward Chris Thorburn in the first period, left the game and didn't return. He'll be replaced by Keith Aulie.

Gordon is out with a back injury, also sustained in the loss to Winnipeg. Luke Gazdic, who has missed the past three games with an illness, will replace Gordon.

Neither team held a morning skate.
