Result:
WIN

LA has made us a boatload of money this season as we have backed them as big dogs many times and won more often than not. Here's another spot we like. Yes, the Kings are bad. But, they do win some games. And, when they do, they get prices that are more than deserved. In most bettors' minds, the Kings are "the worst team in the NHL." So they get no credit, even when deserved. The fact is, this team has won nine of their last sixteen! They have won as dogs of +190, +155, +125, +140, +195, +125 and +115. New York averages just 2.4 goals per game at home so anything can happen here, especially if they breathe a sigh of relief after four straight road games. Heck, they get the lowly Kings here so why not relax a bit. Relax too much, though and you could lose to those lowly Kings. Home favorites of -200 or higher are just 41-39 over the past five seasons when coming off 4+ straight road games! The Rangers are 0-7 this year in non-conference games. We like LA's chances here, especially at this line.
