Los Angeles at New York

The Los Angeles Kings have defended their way to a good record on the season. This is a club that finds a way to stay in every game they play. Over the last 23 times they have taken the ice, just one team has managed to score more than 3 goals against them. The Islanders have a losing home record on the season, and their recent play here has seen them drop their last three. The Islanders sure have shown an inability vs. Pacific teams where they are a dreadful 7-20 in their last 27 and they also stand in at a woeful 20-50 vs. a team that scored 2 or fewer in their last game over their last 70 in this situation. The Kings have had their way in this series at 6-1 in the last seven, so play on Los Angeles in this one.
