Los Angeles has had trouble winning on the road, but Arizona can't win at home. Los Angeles has the better talent, of course, as defending champs. LA is #5 in goals allowed and the Kings just posted their second shutout in three games with Tuesday's 2-0 win over Boston. The Kings are 4-0 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. The Arizona Coyotes rank #22 in goals scored and #25 in goals allowed. They aren't returning for a five-game homestand with any added confidence after Tuesday's 5-2 loss in Calgary. The Coyotes are 0-5 in their last five home games. Arizona defenseman Connor Murphy (upper body) missed the Calgary game, while forward David Moss (upper body) has returned to practice after missing 20 games, so this is not a healthy team. Arizona is 1-5 against a team with a winning record, so grab the visitors and play the LA Kings.
