Los Angeles plays their best hockey at home (15-6-4), especially on defense. The Kings are 5-0 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game. Anaheim did score 5 goals in their last game in a win over New Jersey, but this team does not have great overall stats for a first place team at #15 in goals scored and #13 in goals allowed, and #20 on the power play and #19 in penalty killing. They are 4-0 UNDER the total in Pacific Division play. The Kings are 6-2 against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 2-0-2 UNDER in division play. The home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the UNDER is 2-0-2 here in Los Angeles. Play the LA Kings and the UNDER.
