This is a tough spot for New Jersey, 3,000 miles from home for its third straight road contest. The Devils are 17-35 away against a team with a winning home record. They are also on a 9-2-1 run UNDER the total. They run into a Los Angeles Kings squad that is second in the NHL in goals allowed and penalty killing. The Kings play their seventh home game over the last eight contests. Ace goalie Jonathan Quick has turned aside 55-of-56 shots to win back-to-back games and boasts a 2.14 goals-against average and .932 save percentage in his last 15 contests. Los Angeles is 13-6 at home versus a team with a winning road record, plus 21-9-1 against Eastern Conference this season. With the UNDER 15-5-1 when they clash, back home ice in a defensive duel. Play the L.A. Kings plus the UNDER.
