Minnesota has lost five in row with poor defense, allowing three goals three times, including six the last two games. The L.A. Kings have an improved offense this season with some key additions in Milan Lucic and Vincent Lecavalier, #14 in goals scored, and fifth on the power play. Los Angeles improved to 4-1-1 since Lecavalier's arrival with Tuesday's 3-2 win over Dallas. Lecavalier aims for a fourth consecutive game with a goal as he's been revitalized as a second-line center since being acquired by the Kings. L.A. has also tallied 13 goals the last four contests, so take the OVER in this one.
