TOP RATED 10* NHL *PUCKLINE PUNISHER*
(NHL) Vancouver vs. Los Angeles,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 140.00 Los Angeles (Home)
Result: Win
The LA Kings will be looking to bounce back from an embarrassing home loss to St. Louis on Saturday. "I'll be honest with you, sometimes getting pummeled 7-2 may be easier than losing 2-1 or 3-2," Los Angeles captain Anze Kopitar told reporters. "I don't think a whole lot needs to be said. I'm sure each and every one of us know what we got to do and we have to play harder and with a lot more emotion."

The last time Los Angeles lost by at least five goals on its home ice was 7-2 against the Stars back in 2008, and this will be a double-revenge spot for LA as it also seek to avenge a 6-2 loss to the Nucks on Jan. 23.

The Vancouver Canucks look like an easy victim, coming off three straight losses and winning just one of their last seven games. I don't see them keeping up with a fired up home team here.

My selection is a 10* play on LA Kings -1.5.
