Colorado is in a tough spot playing its third game in four days, and the Avalanche lost in overtime to Arizona on Thursday and then suffered a shootout defeat at Anaheim last night. Los Angeles is rested and has been off since Wednesday, when its five-game win streak was snapped in a 2-1 loss to Washington. Cam Talbot has been everything the Kings asked for when they acquired him in the offseason as he is 10-4-1 with a 2.02 goals-against average and .928 save percentage. The Kings have won 11 of 15 playing with at least three days of rest and they are 37-16 after allowing two or fewer goals their previous game. Play the Kings as a Max Play.
