Los Angeles at Chicago

A tough spot for Los Angeles, losers of four of five on the road. Despite playing eight of their last nine games at home, the Kings are 3-3 the last six games, losing twice as a favorite. They come off a 2-1 home loss to New Jersey as -260 chalk. The Kings are in the middle of the pack in goals scored and are 3-10-1 in their last 14 regular-season visits to Chicago. Chicago returns to the United Center after a tough two-game trip where it's 24-8-2 this season. The Blackhawks have dropped from first to third in the division, but play four of their next five at home, culminating with a rematch with the Dallas Stars on March 22. Chicago is 22-5 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game, plus 20-6 following a loss of three or more goals. Chicago is #6 in goals scored, #8 in goals allowed, and #2 on the power play. Goalie Corey Crawford is 20-8-2 with a 1.74 goals-against average at home this season. NHL points leader Patrick Kane has six over his past three games against Los Angeles and eight goals in his last 11 regular-season matchups. This is a great bounce back spot for the Blackhawks, who are on a 39-16 run at home, while the Kings are 12-25 in the last 37 meetings, including 7-19 at Chicago. Play Chicago.
