Minnesota at Los Angeles

Things were going OK for the LA Kings early in the season but this team has come crashing down in a big way. LA has dropped seven of its last eight games. Opponents have doubled them up on the scoreboard by a combined score of 32-16. The Kings' defense has gone on vacation as they have allowed four goals per contest over the eight games and have allowed each of those last eight opponents to score three or more times. The offense has managed more than three goals just once, so that pretty much tells the story. Minnesota has had a good road trip with a one-goal defeat and a pair of wins and has struck for 13 goals in the three games and should have no trouble executing their revitalized offense vs. the defensively slumping Kings. Back Minnesota.
