The set-up: LA has now lost back-to-back games to the Blues and then 5-1 in Minnesota just last night. The Hawks are coming off a 4-1 home loss to the Flyers despite outshooting them 24-23.

The pick: The Kings are the worst defensive team in the league and they're coming off a loss just last night. The Hawks have been poor offensively, but note that they're 6-2 in their last eight home games following a home loss by three or more goals. The situation and the trends both point to the home side as the correct call (and the price is excellent too in my opinion.)

10* COACH'S CORNER on the Chicago Blackhawks.
