Play: LA Kings
Rating: 8*

We backed the LA Kings as a rather hefty underdog last night, but were unfortunately never close to cashing that ticket when they were dominated in a 4-1 loss at Montreal. They travel to Ottawa to take on the Senators here the very next day, and I like the Kings in this spot. They're 10-4 in their last 14 in the second game of a back-to-back set and this is a tough spot for the Sens too as they'll play their third game in four nights. Ottawa is 1-5 in its last six in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation and the team has really struggled for goals lately, mustering just a total of one through three consecutive losses while conceding a total of 16. The Sens have won each of the last three head-to-head meetings, but the Kings are 12-5-1 in the last 18.

LA had won three consecutive games prior to last night's setback, and I'm looking for the Kings to get back in the winners circle tonight.
