Los Angeles at Winnipeg

img8:00 PM Eastern

Los Angeles is dealing with missing players due to injuries or personal reasons, but fortunately, they face the Jets, who are on an 11-game losing streak with no signs of things getting better. Winnipeg is averaging 2.27 goals during the skid, and the past five meetings with the Kings have stayed UNDER. Connor Hellebuyck hasn't been quite his stellar self, but he hasn't gotten much support from his skaters. The Jets have lost five home games in a row, and their past four have been against the Pacific Division. The Kings have won four of the past five meetings, and eight of 11 meetings at Winnipeg have gone UNDER. Darcy Kuemper is 12-7-7 with a 2.38 goals-against average for Los Angeles. Winnipeg played last night, so Eric Comrie is expected to start, and he is 6-9-1. Take the Kings and the UNDER.
