Los Angeles wraps up a long road trip here, their 6th game away from home. This defense is terrific, giving up 9 goals the last five games and LA is third in the league in goals allowed and fourth in penalty killing. That defense is a big reason why this team has a winning record both home and away. The Kings are 5-2 in their last seven against a team with a winning record. It's tough to back fourth place Dallas as a favorite, a team that is 4-8 the last 12 games. Dallas is No. 18 in the league in goals scored, No. 19 in goals allowed and one of the worst on the power play. They have been awful on Sunday, get-away day, at 5-12 in their last 17 Sunday games, and Los Angeles has owned them, as the Kings are 7-2 in the last nine meetings in Dallas. Play Los Angeles.
