Los Angeles at Atlanta

The Atlanta Thrashers have spent a lot of time on the road. They haven't been home enough to gain any semblance of a home ice advantage. They have won just twice here all season, and have won here just once in their last five and it took a shootout to accomplish that. The goaltending has been suspect allowing four goals or more in six of their last nine games, making it hard to win. Los Angeles has been winning on the road to the tune of a 6-4-1 mark, and has been a perfect 4-0 against teams that are .400 or less at home. The Thrashers’ next problem is playing on consecutive nights where they have been a poor 10-26 in their last 36 on the back end. I'll go with the Kings in this one.
