This is an 8* WEST-COAST EXPRESS on the LA Kings.

For a number of different reasons I think the home side finds a way to get the job done and in my opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value." LA entered the break on a four game losing streak. Chicago closed the first half by winning two straight. From a situational stand point, I think the Kings will clearly be the "hungrier" team tonight. Now also throw in the fact that this is a revenge scenario for the home side after falling 4-1 to the Blackhawks in LA back on November 29th and this play becomes even stronger. Note that Chicago is 3-4 (-5 units) when playing with three or more days of rest this year, while LA is 4-2 (+1.2 units) after three or more consecutive losses. There's no time like the present to turn their season around, I think Chicago comes in a bit "hung over" from the break while the home side comes in focused on the task at hand; play on the KINGS.
