Point Spread: -1.50 | 108.00 Los Angeles (Home)
Result: Loss
The Kings buried the Flyers, 5-0, on the road a week ago. This spot sets up for the Kings to win by multiple goals again.
LA has much to prove to home where it hasn't played well. The Penguins just beat the Kings two days ago in LA. The Kings have had a day to rest up and lick their wounds from that game, while the Flyers come in fat and happy after beating the Ducks last night.
The Flyers have major goalie issues with Carter Hart out. The Kings are expected to go back to Cam Talbot in net after Pheonix Copley played against the Penguins. Talbot is the superior goalie. Talbot is 3-0 with a GAA of 1.00 and save percentage of .966 this month. The Flyers have been held to two or fewer goals in four of their last six games.
The Kings don't play again until hosting the Panthers on Thursday. So expect an all-out effort from the Kings to achieve what has been elusive for them, a home victory. It should come here in a big way.
