Los Angeles is a weak road team, but are dominant at home, and here they are at home tonight against Winnipeg. Injuries finally appear to be catching up to the Winnipeg Jets as they suffered their first regulation road loss in nearly two months their last time out. Winnipeg has dropped four of five off Thursday's 4-1 loss to Arizona, giving up three power play goals. The Jets are missing four defensemen and forward Evander Kane, plus the team is 1-6 when playing on one day of rest. Winnipeg is #24 in the NHL in goals scored and faces a balanced LA Kings team that is #14 in goals scored and #9 in goals allowed. The Kings are 71-34 in their last 105 home games. Winnipeg has been outscored 33-18 in losing six of seven visits to Los Angeles, falling 4-1 on Oct. 12 for their third straight defeat there in the teams' only matchup this season. The home team is 6-1 in the last seven meetings and Winnipeg is 1-6 here at the Staples Center. Play the Los Angeles Kings.
