Los Angeles at Columbus

The Los Angeles Kings are mired in a four-game slump where they haven't managed to find the win column. The Blue Jackets haven't fared much better themselves as they have dropped two straight. This may be a good spot for the Kings as the Blue Jackets have a horrid history against teams from the Western Conference. They have complied just a 15-37 mark in their last 52 against the West, and an even worse 7-20 mark vs. the Pacific. The Blue Jackets haven't fared well against the poor teams, those that have a .400 winning percentage or less, either as they are just 4-9 in their last 13. This is a good spot for the dog here, so I'll back the Kings.
