Los Angeles at Vancouver

The underdog defending champs are more than capable of winning this game against a division opponent they are close with in the Pacific. Los Angeles has at least a point in five of its last six games (3-1-2). Los Angeles is off a 3-2 loss to a bad Edmonton team despite outshooting them 15-1 in the third - just an anomoly. The Kings are 7-3 in their last 10 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. This defense is still outstanding at #6 in the NHL in goals allowed, and the power play is in the top 10. They face a streaky Vancouver team that is 3-6 over the last nine games. The Kings are 5-1 in the last six meetings with Vancouver. LA goalie Jonathon Quick is 4-1-0 with a .965 save percentage in his last five starts against the Canucks, so grab the underdog defending champs. Take the Kings.
