The Kings rode hot goaltending to a Stanley Cup win a year ago. They played 20 playoff sgames, allowing 2 goals or less in 17 of them. The reputation has spoken for itself right there. They have allowed 3+ in 16 games on the season, and 11 over their last three, so the same intensity has not been there. While you would think they would bring the defense vs. the elite teams, it has not been the case as the last seven times the Kings have faced a team with a winning percentage of greater than .600 none of them have stayed UNDER the total. Los Angeles is also 18-7-3 to the OVER in their last 28 vs. the Pacific, and Anaheim has played a large role in those numbers with the last five meetings in this series all topping the total. Go with the OVER.
