Young Toronto is all about offense, but they run into a veteran powerhouse defense in Los Angeles. The Kings are seventh in goals allowed. The Kings wind up their road trip with goalie Jack Campbell in net. He stopped 40 shots two games ago in a 3-0 victory over the Canadiens in Montreal. Los Angeles has won six of the last eight against the Eastern Conference and is 16-5 versus the Atlantic Division. They are also on a 6-1-2 run UNDER the total, as well as 46-21-14 UNDER after having scored two goals or less in their previous game. Toronto loves to attack on offense, but the defense is just as weak as last season, #23 in goals allowed. The better defensive team has owned this series with the Kings winning four of the last five meetings while holding Toronto to five total goals in the two meetings last year. Toronto is 19-7 UNDER the total against the Pacific Division. With the UNDER 8-3-1 when these teams clash, including 9-4-1 UNDER in Toronto, back the dog in a defensive duel. Play Los Angeles and the UNDER.
