AMEDEUS' NHL ICE COLD CLAPPER!
(NHL) Kings (LAK) vs. Kraken (SEA),
Money Line: -105.00 Kraken (SEA) (Home)
Result: Loss
The Kings are coming into this game with a 47-24-9 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games and their offense has been on fire in these games. They have scored at least 5 goals in each of their last 3 games and have not been giving up many goals either, but this is not a great spot for them as they are on a B2B here and coming off of a big 5-0 win in Edmonton against the Oilers which secured home advantage against them in the 1st round of the playoffs. The Kings have played well on the road recently, but they have been much better at home all season and have been a very different team on the road for a lot of the year. This is the kind of game that they can get tripped up in, especially since they do not have much to play for in these last 2 games, and their 1 loss in their last 8 games actually came against the Kraken as well. They lost at home to the Kraken 2-1 and the only thing the Kings can try to play for is passing the Stars on points, but the Stars still have a game against the Predators to end the season so passing them seems unlikely which gives the Kings an opportunity to rest some players on this B2B. They are going up against a Kraken team that is 35-40-6 this season and has already been eliminated from playoff contention, but they have not been bad in their recent games. They have won 4 of their last 6 games and they are coming off of a 4-3 win against the Blues in their last game. Their defense has been very good in these games as well, allowing 2 goals or less in 4 of their last 6 games. The Kraken do not have much to play for here, but they are getting the Kings in a bad spot and they are going to get up for this last game of the season at home. The Kraken will win this game at home.
