The set-up: After winning three straight, the Kings predictably fell 8-4 in Edmonton in the second game of a back to back after winning the first one 3-0 in Calgary. LA goaltender Jon Quick is 15-22-6 overall with a 3.35 GAA. Quick faced the Canucks once this season and came out on the losing end of a 4-3 shootout. Overall LA averages 2.39 GPG, while allowing 3.16. Vancouver has lost three in a row, but with just a handful of home games left to go, I think the Canucks come to play tonight. Vancouver enters averaging 2.69 GPG, while allowing 3.08. Canucks' goaltender Jacob Markstrom though is 27-22-9 overall with 2.78 GAA (also note that he's already 2-0-1 with a 2.26 GAA vs. the Kings this year.)

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but LA is just 33-36 (-8.1 units) in its last 69 after scoring four or more goals in its previous contest, while Vancouver is interestingly 9-6 (+5.2 units) after playing three straight home games this season. Home ice is a difference maker here in my opinion. I like Vancouver. How about you?
