Los Angeles Kings vs New York Rangers: Kings will secure playoff spot in Western Conference

Prediction for the NHL Los Angeles Kings vs New York Rangers match, which will take place on January 11. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Todd McLellan's team looks competitive this season. Kopitar, Kuijk and Doughty are experiencing their second youth. Viktor Arvidsson has fit in nicely with the new team. Los Angeles has quite deservedly reached 8th place in the Western Conference and finally has a chance to get the postseason.

In the previous game, the Kings beat Detroit with a score of 4:0 at home. Dano, Doughty, Kempe and Moore scored. Calvin Petersen recorded his first shutout of the season with 21 shots.

The Rangers are on a tour of the West. Because of a covid-protocol, Igor Shestyorkin cannot help the team in this tough stretch. In his absence, the goal was defended by backup Aleksandr Georgiev. A good goalkeeper, but still, Shesterkin is unlikely to be replaced by anyone other than the very top goalkeepers.

Gerrard Galland's team has one win and one defeat so far in the away game. First, the Rangers lost by all accounts to Vegas (1:5). Then they beat Anaheim with a score of 4:1.

Shesterkin's and Panarin's absence could be critical in the upcoming game. Los Angeles has been playing great this season, especially at home, and they're sure to cope with the Rangers. Detroit, for instance, had a tough time in the previous game.

Prediction: Los Angeles will be closer to victory.
