San Jose at Los Angeles

The Sharks were once a team that was great at home, but struggled on the road. This season however, they are equally tough on the road at 16-6-2, eclipsing the Kings home mark of just 13-8-2. The Sharks are in an offensive frenzy right now as they have tallied 13 in their last two. On the defensive end, they have allowed just 7 in the last five games. It will be a tough chore for the Kings up-and-down offense that has scored 2 or less in half of their last 14 games to hang close in this one. The Sharks are the NHL's best playing in the second of consecutive nights where they are 45-14 in their last 59. The Kings are failing to get it done vs. road teams with a .600+ winning percentage, where they are just 8-21. I'll go with San Jose here.
