Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction: The Kings Should Use the Opponent's Problems

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings match which will take place on April 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Anaheim had an extremely weak regular season. It is hardly surprising since restructuring continues in the team, the leaders of the past years have already retired, and promising young people cannot yet lead the team to success. If, until mid-March, the Californians at least tried to achieve the result in some games, then at the end of the season, they stopped playing, which is why they could not win even once in the last 12 matches. A few fails lowered Anaheim to last place in the Western Conference standings.

Los Angeles had an excellent regular season and has guaranteed a place in the playoffs, but the results of the Californians have worsened. In the last eight games, they have won only three times, and in five cases, they have had defeats each time in regular time. Fortunately, the day before, they interrupted a 3-match series of failures, beating Vancouver 3-0 at home, and ahead of the Kings, there is a game with another league outsider. So there will still be an opportunity to improve before the cup battles. Now Los Angeles is in fifth place in the Western Conference standings, where it will probably finish.

Anaheim is the worst team in the Western Conference at the end of the current season, which is now in terrible shape, having lost the last 12 games. The Ducks are no longer motivated, so they finish the season thinking about the upcoming vacation. Los Angeles is also unlikely to be able to change their position. Still, they are much stronger than the opponent, and it is important to win before the cup battles to play in the playoffs with confidence. 

Anaheim is the most skipping team in the Western Conference. For 81 matches in the current regular season, the Californians have already missed 333 goals (4.11 on average per game). The Kings should use the opponent's problems.
