Los Angeles at Buffalo

October 10, 2024
img7:00 PM Eastern

The Kings made the playoffs last season, but were eliminated in the first round, four games to one, by the Edmonton Oilers. They head to Buffalo for their first game of the season against the Sabres, who already have two games under their belt—both losses—from the Global Series in Prague. Buffalo managed just one goal in each start vs. a tough Devils' squad. You have to wonder what kind of toll it takes, traveling out of the country for your first two games of the season, and playing your third game to your opponents' first game. Peak physical condition hasn't been reached yet, and throw jet lag in there, and this one could be a grind. I like the edge here for LA. Take the Kings.

Buffalo at Los Angeles

January 24, 2024
img10:37 PM Eastern

The Buffalo Sabres last made a playoff appearance in 2010. They have lost two straight games, and currently sit in 7th place in the Atlantic Division this season. The road has been problematic as usual as the Sabres are 6-12 in their last 18 on the road. The LA Kings have struggled through the month of January at 2-9 but have played better after a six-game losing streak. They have a good opportunity to heal some wounds vs. a Buffalo team that struggles on the road. The Kings have dominated the Sabres here, as they have a 9-3 mark against Buffalo when takin them on in LA, with the average margin by a full goal in the 12 games. Make the play on the LA Kings.
