Los Angeles Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks: Expect a Total Under

Prediction for the NHL Los Angeles Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks match, which will take place on April 22. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Los Angeles is finally close to making the play-offs. The main thing isn't to cannot finish the regular season. They came close to doing so when they lost four out of five games in the first half of April. However, a devastating 3:9 loss to Colorado woke up the Black and White, who beat Columbus and Anaheim 2:1 to move up to seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

For Chicago, the current regular season has once again proved to be a failure. From the very beginning of the season, the Hawks had no cup ambitions and by the end of the season they completely fell apart, so they had only two wins and ten defeats in their last 12 games. They are now in 14th place in the Western Conference standings.

The final stretch of the regular season is a time when tournament motivation comes to the fore. For that reason, Los Angeles is the undisputed favourite to win the regular season series as the Kings sit seventh in the West and are in a playoff race. Chicago has already lost a long time ago, losing 10 of their last 12 games. Of course, the Californians have to take advantage of that, so it's a good bet on LA to win for 1.692.

In 78 games played, the Kings have scored just 224 goals (2.87 average per game), while the Hawks have scored just 208 goals (2.70 average per game) in 77 games. Moreover, the Californians are playing as pragmatically as possible to stay in contention for the playoffs, and Derek King's men need nothing at all, so we suggest betting on a total under 5.5 for 2.23.

Adrian Kempe is one of the key players for Los Angeles who is trying his best to drag his team into the playoffs. He has already scored 50 points (32 goals + 16 assists) in 75 games. A respectable mark which allows him to be the second best scorer among Californians. In such a situation, it is worth taking a closer look at the bet on Adrian Kempe to score for 2.25.
