Nashville at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Kings raced to the Stanley Cup Championship a year ago, as they defended better than anyone else. They allowed 2 goals or less in 18 of the 21 playoffs games. They went 32 straight games that saw them never having a streak of more than two games allowing more than 1 goal. This season has been different in the early going, as they have allowed 2 or more in every game they have played so far, and their two-game winning streak has seen the offense come to life by scoring 7 times. Nashville has been hanging around in most of their games, but has unfortunately gone 0-3 in shootouts through six games. The Predators have been 9-4-2 to the OVER in their last 15 when facing an opponent that allowed 2 or goals less in their last game, and this series has exploded OVER the total in six of the last seven meetings. Play the OVER.
