T.M. Selection: LA Kings.

I like the LA Kings to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Kings have looked really good in their games lately, they are the 4th best team in the West at the moment and the Sharks have not had a good year at all. The Kings had won 3 games in a row before losing in their most recent game and that loss came on home ice to the Sharks here. That game was 2 days ago on Thursday and the Kings lost on home ice in OT 4-3 too, so that loss is still freshly imprinted in their minds. I think the Kings are going to be looking for their revenge here and I expect them to get it and bounce back in this game since they are the better team. These teams are rivals and it would make no sense at all if the Sharks were to win B2B against the Kings with the year they have been having. The Kings aren't on their home ice in this game but they are revenging the loss from their home ice and what sweeter way to get revenge than to win in a road game in front of all the Sharks fans. The Sharks have looked terrible in their games lately anyway. The Sharks had lost 3 games in a row before winning against the Kings in their most recent game and they even had to drag them into OT just to get the win. The Kings actually had a lead for most of that game too and they let it go in the 3rd but I think they will make sure not to let that happen again here so I see them playing better on defense in this game. I think this is a huge revenge spot for the Kings and I expect them to bounce back with a win here. I like the Kings to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Kings.
