The Kings are looking to play faster and to be more offense-minded, having changed coaches and traded for Anze Kopitar. But producing goals has been a problem on the road for LA. The Kings lost, 2-1, in overtime on the road to the Bruins this past Tuesday in their last game. It was a tight checking game as this away game should be, too, given that the opponent is the Islanders. New York ranks sixth defensively, giving up 2.8 goals a game, while ranking 22nd in scoring and 29th on the power play. The Islanders are averaging two goals in regulation during their last four games. The Kings have scored 11 goals in regulation during their past six away games for an average of 1.8 goals per game during this span. LA will be facing Ilya Sorokin, one of the top goalies in the NHL. Sorokin is 24-14-2 with a 2.51 GAA, a .913 SV%, and a league-leading six shutouts this season. The Kings are 29th in scoring and 28th on the power play. Take the UNDER.
