Minnesota at Los Angeles

The Kings have lost five straight while the Wild are undefeated at 5-0. Minnesota has given up a total of 4 goals so far while LA has allowed 27! Minnesota swept the Kings 4-0 last season and no reason to expect that LA can somehow pull this one out. Losing home teams coming off two straight home losses by 2+ goals are just 11-28 over the past five seasons in the NHL. The Kings are 4-19 at home vs. winning teams now dating back to last season including 3-14 when in the +100 to +150 range. Against teams that are excellent against the power play (allowing under 15% PP conversion), the Kings are 1-14 at home.
