A pair of ace goalies meet on the East Coast. Los Angeles is a long way from home but is in first place with a rock solid defense behind goalie Jonathan Quick, tops in the NHL in goals allowed and penalty killing. The Kings are on an 11-3-1 run UNDER the total, plus 30-12-10 UNDER on the road. They are also 22-10-5 UNDER against the Eastern Conference. New Jersey is on a two game skid but those were back-to-back games. The Devils are 21-10-9 UNDER after a loss of three or more goals. They are rested now, have top goalie Corey Schneider going and the team is 29-14-13 UNDER playing on two days rest. The UNDER is also 17-6-3 when they clash, including 12-3-2 UNDER at New Jersey. Take the UNDER.
