This is a 10* on ARIZONA

The ‘Yotes are actually tied for third in the West with Colorado, which is something we would not have anticipated. Tonight they can move even closer to the top as they host a Kings team that has been even more surprising in that they have won three in a row. In case you haven’t been following the NHL, the Kings have been bad the last couple seasons. They won here 3-2 on Thursday, but we can’t see them doing it again. That game on Thursday went to a shootout and saw Arizona dig themselves into an early 0-2 hole. Arizona is capable of a lot more offensively than what they’ve shown the last few games. While they’ve been held to two or less goals in three of the last four games, they’ve also scored 3 or 4 in six of the last nine. In a five game losing streak that preceded this current three-game winning run, Los Angeles had allowed a combined 21 goals. Play on ARIZONA
