Premium Pick
2 units on Los Angeles +1.5 goals -222 (puckline) (risk 2 to return 2.9)
Result:
WIN

This should be a close game. These teams have split the last 12 matchups. Dallas has been mediocre on the road while LA, for a bad team, has been decent at home. Their poor defense is not horrible at home. Dallas has struggled to score this year and it's gotten worse of late. THey have put up 1 or fewer goals in six of their last twelve games! They have scored 2 or less in three of their last four. Road teams favored by -100 to -150 coming off a home blowout loss of 3+ goals are just 15-32 vs. division opponents the past ten years. Now, you would expect Dallas to win here but at +1.5 we like Los Angeles as they have a shot and should keep it close regardless.
