This is a tough situational spot for Pittsburgh, the third game of a four-game road trip. They are 3,000 miles from home and the defense has been a concern, allowing 11 goals the last four contests. They were -160 favorite on this trip at Colorado and lost 3-1. Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has struggled to a 3.05 GAA in his last three starts. Los Angeles sits two points behind Winnipeg for the second wild card in the West and two behind Calgary and Vancouver for second and third in the Pacific Division. Los Angeles is #10 in the NHL in goals allowed and 21-7-3 at home. The Kings are on a 10-3 run, 7-1 against a team with a winning record, so grab home ice and take the LA Kings.
