5* NHL Game of the Month
(NHL) Los Angeles vs. Anaheim,
Money Line: -149.00 Los Angeles (Away)
Result: Win
LA is 21-11 on the road as the Kings are trying to hold off the Golden Knights to nail down a playoff spot in the Pacific Division. So their intensity should be way up along with their defense.
LA is 17-5 the past 22 versus below .500 opponents and the Ducks are 0-9 the past nine times when playing on one day's rest.

The Kings allow the 12th least amount of goals per game and the second least amount of shots. The Ducks won't put enough pucks on the goal, to stay in this game. Los Angeles is also four points behind the Oilers, as they will have more motivation to play strong in this game. The Ducks struggled on the defensive end and the Kings will be able to score enough goals to take down the Ducks. Anaheim is one of the weakest defensive teams in the league and the Kings will take advantage.

I don't see this game staying close for long, and we are backing the Los Angeles Kings to get the win here.
