Los Angeles at Vancouver

Los Angeles is in desperation mode as it is in danger of missing the playoffs after losing four straight, and the Kings can't afford to lose to the team with the worst record in the league. Vancouver has lost three straight while allowing 14 goals in that span, and the Canucks have gone OVER five of six, including Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Anaheim. Vancouver is 40-28-2 OVER, including 23-13-1 OVER at home this season. The Canucks have lost nine of 11 home games and 13 of 16 overall. The Kings have won seven of the past 10 meetings and four of five on the road. Kevin Lankinen is likely to start for the Canucks, and he is 8-24-5 with a 3.63 goals-against average and an .875 save percentage. Vancouver is last in the league, allowing 3.68 goals per game. Take the Kings to win this game, and bet the OVER.
