The Kings were dethroned by the Bruins in their last game, but won the previous 5 prior to laying that egg, averaging 4 + goals scored. LA is a very good road team, with solid defense, but their goal-tending has been sub-par lately.

The Stars are very strong at home, and have produced offensively well above their average when in the confines of their home arena. They have a middle-brow offense but do have a distinct advantage on the power play, and the Kings are not the most disciplined of teams.

The winner is a toss-up, but I like the total in this match-up. The Stars are prone to low totals except in a “home favorite” situation, and lately the Kings’ games have trended over. Wednesday’s number is low. Take the over.
