Boston won 4-2 at Anaheim on Friday night with 22 shots for and 27 against, and it is back on the ice in Los Angeles tonight. The Kings last played Tuesday. Los Angeles is 0-3-2, and Boston is 6-2, yet the Kings have outshot opponents 153 to 133 and been outscored 21 to 11. Los Angeles puts 30.6 shots a game on net, sixth in the league, and Boston allows 28.5, tenth-most. Boston allows 2.25 goals a game, the second-fewest, come on those shots. The Kings outshot Colorado, San Jose, and Edmonton, and they put 40 on the Oilers while allowing 17. Los Angeles scores 2.2 goals a game, 29th in the league. Mats Zuccarello and Alex Turcotte went on injured reserve, retroactive to October 6, with undisclosed injuries, and the Kings have scored one goal in each of the two games played without them. Boston’s only two losses, 4-1 at Minnesota and 4-1 to Ottawa, were both by three goals, and I’m laying the puckline with Los Angeles tonight.

Pro Picks
Boston at Los Angeles
No team compiled more points at home last season than the Kings. It is nearly the opposite this season. LA is 9-2-3 on the road and 1-6 at home. Only the Rangers have been worse at home than the Kings, and this spot does not look good. It is LA's first home game following a six-game, two-week road trip that concluded last night with a 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks. The Kings have not had to play without rest since October 25-26. Boston played the Ducks in Anaheim two days ago. The Bruins just had a very short distance to travel for this matchup and were idle on Thursday. They are the more rested team. Boston is playing well, too, winning eight of its last 11 games. The Bruins' only losses during this time span were as underdogs in close games against the Ducks, Hurricanes, and Senators. If given 1.5 goals in every game, the Bruins would be 17-5 this season. Take the Bruins on the puckline.
