Nashville at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Kings have sputtered on offense to the tune of 42 games that have seen this team score 2 goals or less. That has changed dramatically in recent games as the Kings’ offense has found some life. Over their last nine games they have scored 3 or more goals in eight of them and an anemic offense has gotten legs to average 3.63 goals per contest in the last nine. The Kings’ defense, which had kept them in games despite the lack of scoring punch, appears to be showing the wear and tear as they are allowing just shy of 3 goals per contest over their last six. Nashville's fate has been similar over their last nine games with the total goals scored at 54, averaging 6 per contest, and they have struggled to a 1-5 mark in their last six when posted as a dog, including 0-4 in their last four on the road. The Kings are coming through vs. winning teams now 10-4 in their last 14 and have the edge in this one. Five of the last six in this series have topped the total. Play on LA and the OVER in this one.
