This is a 10* PUCK-LINE DESTRUCTION on the LA Kings.

For a number of different reasons I believe that the conditions are right for a blowout, making the PUCK LINE the savvy move in tonight's contest. Arizona has been one of the worst in the league all year and comes into this contest having lost six straight on the road. LA goaltender Jonathan Quick is playing at an extremely high level right now, he's 12-3-1 with a 1.78 GAA in his last 16 starts and if history is any precedence, then the home side has to be loving its chances today is it's already 2-0-1 in the season series. And that's bad news for a Coyotes team which is averaging a NHL-worst 1.65 GPG since the All-Star break, while getting outscored 23-8 during the current road slide; note that Arizona has in fact totaled just three goals during an 0-3-1 skid after Saturday's 4-1 home loss to the Devils. Also note, the Kings have killed off 38 of opponents' last 40 power plays, while the Coyotes are a horrible 4-21 (-15.2 units) in revenging a loss vs. an opponent this year. Lay the 1.5 goals for the near pick-em price, play on LA.
