Los Angeles at Anaheim

Los Angeles will go for quick revenge after losing 3-2 to the Ducks on Friday night. The Kings blew a 2-0 lead, and Anaheim rookie Beckett Sennecke had two second-period assists and scored in the shootout as Anaheim won for the second time following a nine-game slide. The Ducks started the season strong, but their young team has fizzled the past month or so, and they are last in the league, allowing 3.64 goals per game. The Kings have won six of seven Saturday games, and they are 10-2 in their past 12 third games of a 3-in-4 days situation. Los Angeles has won nine of 11 playing with no rest. The Ducks are 6-1 OVER at home against teams with winning road records. Anaheim is 10-2-1 OVER its past 13 home games overall. The Kings are 5-1 OVER in the second game of a home-and-home situation. Take the Kings and the OVER.
