(NHL) Anaheim vs. Los Angeles,
Money Line: 140.00 Anaheim (Away)
Result: Win
Money Line: 140.00 Anaheim (Away)
Result: Win
The Anaheim Ducks are coming to Staples Center looking to stay hot as they're coming off a seven game home-stand, of which they won five. I like their chances of booking yet another win tonight as the Los Angeles Kings have looked like nothing more than a shadow of the team that won the Stanley Cup last season.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Special Teams - The Ducks have been very effective on the power play of late, scoring in four consecutive games going 5-for-13 on the man advantage. The same can not be said about the Kings as they've managed only two goals over their last 19 chances on the power play.
2. Home Woes - The Kings have lost four of their last five, all on home ice. The Ducks have won five of the last seven meetings in L.A.
3. X-Factor - Corey Perry is back in business after an injury that held him out for an extended period of time and has notched four goals over his last two games.
Selection: This is a play on the Anaheim Ducks (10*)
