Normally, the Canadians like to be aggressive and offensive-minded. That approach is likely to change here because of fatigue. Montreal is going to be playing for the second time in less than 24 hours, following a 6-5 road loss to the Ducks in a shootout last night. Anaheim forced the extra time by tying the game with 42 seconds left in regulation. The Canadians are trying to conserve their energy by skipping their morning skate around today. The Kings are 29th in scoring, averaging 2.6 goals a game. They rank 10th defensively. So, no surprise that they have gone UNDER in 55% of their games this season. LA has started to pick up its pace, but right now, it is a team in transition under recently named interim coach D.J. Smith. The Kings have failed to reach at least three goals in regulation during eight of their last 10 games. Take the UNDER.
