Chicago at Los Angeles

The LA Kings have won each of the first two games on their current four-game homestand by a single goal. They will host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight, who opened their current three-game road trip with a disappointing 4-0 loss at Winnipeg. Chicago has had a few rest days to try and get things straightened out, and I'll note that road teams off a shutout loss have a +4.2% ROI overall, winning 47% of those games. Better than that is the fact that a team off a shutout loss and playing on the road vs a team off a shutout win are 39-32, with a huge +18.1% ROI. Chicago is in a good spot tonight. Make the play on the Hawks.
