Result: Loss
Play: LA Kings
Rating: 8*
The Montreal Canadiens own the best record in the NHL and they're a perfect 8-0-0 home at Bell Centre on the season, but I think all the value is on the Los Angeles Kings in this matchup. The Habs have shown some cracks in the armor lately. They lost 10-0 at Columbus on Nov. 4, and have been outshot by a margin of 21 and 20 shots in one-goal victories against Philly and Boston since.
The Kings meanwhile are playing their best hockey of the season coming off three consecutive victories in beating Pittsburgh 3-2, Calgary 5-0 and Toronto 7-0. They're 5-1 in their last six vs. Eastern Conference teams while the Habs are 7-19 in their last 26 against the West. Go Kings!
