San Jose has lost it's way with just three wins in ten games. They beat the Coyotes last night, but wins on consecutive nights is unlikely, especially against a 7-3 Kings team who are very good at home. LA won in a surprisingly low scoring game the last time these two teams met, but the Kings have been hot lately, beating both the Oilers and the Knights, and scoring 6 and 5 goals respectively. The Kings' forte is offense and power play, and while their defense is below average, it is not nearly as poor as the The Sharks' who are 28th in goals allowed.

LA has six players with 10 or more goals, plus decent secondary scoring. The Sharks' +/- is very shaky, neither goaltender is especially sharp, and they will play two nights in a row with travel thrown in. Look for the Kings to be a lot tougher on the Sharks than the last time these two teams met. The Sharks aren't terrible at putting the puck in the net either. With the Sharks averaging three goals a game, and the Kings on a tear, look for this game to go over the total.
