Los Angeles at Anaheim

The Anaheim Ducks saw their modest three game winning streak erased in resounding fashion as they were shutout at home in their last contest against Ottawa. Perhaps of greater concern is what has happened to the defense over their last 14 games, which has allowed 50 goals or 3.6 per contest on their way to a 6-8 record. The Kings have won eight of their last nine and have been defending at an elite level, allowing just 14 total goals in the nine games, at 1.6 per contest. These teams are playing at much different levels on the defensive end right now, making the Kings a live dog here. The Kings own six straight wins vs. a winning team, and have taken four straight on the road. Play on the Kings in this one.
