The Kings have scored 141 goals this season, second-fewest in the league. The Kings also rank 30th in shooting percentage and are 29th on the power play. A lack of scoring punch and coaching philosophy are reasons the Kings play a highly conservative defensive style. The UNDER has cashed in 56% of LA's games. The Kings did make an effort to upgrade their offense by acquiring winger Artemi Panarin from the Rangers, but Panarin won't play in today's game. Both LA and Las Vegas were in action last night. The Kings have gone UNDER six of the past seven times when playing without rest. The Golden Knights defeated the Canucks, 5-2, at home last night. Vancouver is the worst defensive team in the NHL. The Kings are the third-best defensive team in the league. The Golden Knights were averaging 2.4 goals a game in their past five games, two of which went past regulation, before their five-goal outburst against defenseless Vancouver. Take the UNDER.
