Result:
WIN

Colorado is the better team of course but LA is not awful at home. They play decent defense here which will serve them well against Colorado. The Avs just don't have the punch of years' past and find themselves with a dissapointing 13-15 record. The Kings have put up some pretty impressive home performances of late. They lost to Anaheim by only one goal and beat New Jersey and Calgary as a big underdog in back-to-back games before that. They also beat San Jose and Phoenix and lost by only one goal to Philadelphia. The bottom line is that in their last 8 home games they are 7-1 to a +1.5 line. They beat some pretty good teams in that stretch too. Take the Kings plus the 1.5.
