Pearson received a game misconduct after appearing to hit Davidson's chin with his shoulder halfway through Sunday's game.
The 24-year-old Pearson scored 15 goals and added 21 assists over 79 games with the Kings in 2015-16, his third with the club.
Davidson, 25, netted four goals and seven helpers over 51 contests last season with the Oilers, his second year with the club.
