Total: 5.50 | 104.00 Over
Result: Win
The set-up: San Jose lost 5-2 to Anaheim on Opening Night, an uncharacteristically poor start from goaltender Martin Jones. But I think we'll see San Jose play a much tighter and more disciplined game here. LA opens its season tonight, looking to get back to the playoffs after getting bounced by Las Vegas in the first round.
The teams: San Jose's Jones will look to bounce back here and he has to be feeling confident as he's 9-5 with a 2.06 GAA lifetime against the Kings. He's also 59-50 with a 2.45 GAA lifetime away from friendly confines.
LA counters with Jonathan Quick, who finished 33-31 with a 2.40 GAA last year and who is 15-16 with a 2.52 GAA lifetime against the Sharks.
The pick: San Jose played terrible defense in its opener, but as I stated off the top, I think the team returns to form here. The stage is set for a classic goaltenders duel on Friday night. Play the "under."
