Ottawa can't score at #21 in the league in goals scored, and #27 on the power play. They've lost two in a row by scores of 5-0 and 3-0. They've also lost nine of 10, scoring a total of 15 goals. Ottawa's acquisition of Matt Duchene in a three-way trade last month has been a failure given his lack of production. He has registered only one goal and one assist with a minus-11 rating in 12 games. That struggling offense has to face Los Angeles ace goaltender Jonathan Quick. The first-place Kings are tops in the NHL in goals allowed and penalty killing, on a 10-2-1 run UNDER the total. Los Angeles has won six in a row allowing two goals or less in every one of them. The Kings are 40-16-18 UNDER the total against a team with a winning percentage below .400, plus 21-9-5 UNDER versus the Eastern Conference. Take this one to finish UNDER the total.
