Los Angeles at Chicago

Chicago keeps rolling along getting all the national attention, but don't overlook the defending champs! Los Angeles has won two straight since benching starting goaltender Jonathan Quick, who has not played close to his Conn Smythe-winning form from last season. Jonathan Bernier has held opponents to one goal in each of his two starts this week as the Kings won back-to-back games in regulation. Los Angeles was one for five on the power play in both wins and is 3-1-1 when scoring with the man advantage. The Kings are 17-6 against a team with a winning record, 13-6 in their last 19 road games and 20-8 following a win. Chicago is 1-1 the last two games, losing as a minus-160 favorite in this arena to Anaheim. They are still dealing with an upper-body injury to goaltender Corey Crawford as Ray Emery has been stepping in until Crawford is ready to return. The Kings won both visits to Chicago last season and when these teams meet the road team is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Play the Los Angeles Kings.
