Detroit at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Kings have won four of their last five games, but this is the same team that dropped five of six previously. They are an average team at best, and the Red Wings are the better team on the plus side of the line. Detroit has started the road trip off with a pair of losses, so I think you’re going to see a focused effort here tonight in LA. Their history identifies that as likely as they are now 46-19-2 after a 3 or more goal loss in their last 67 in this situation. They are also 65-32-5 in their last 102 after allowing 5 goals in their previous game. The Kings will be playing in their third game in four nights where they are an unsuccessful 1-4 in their last five. Play on Detroit for the money.
