Los Angeles at Vancouver

Coming off their Stanley Cup win from a year ago, the Los Angeles Kings will wear the target on their back all season. They have handled it well at home, but are just a pedestrian 5-5-1 taking to the road. The Canucks have had the offense going in their last 11 games, scoring 3 or more goals in eight of them, and have scored at least two in every home game this season. Vancouver has been tough at home vs. teams with a losing road record, where they are 62-28 here in their last 90. They are also at their best with three or more days rest, where they have achieved a 20-6 mark in their last 26. They will be ready for this one, so play on Vancouver.
