The Kings failed their previous two games - at home against Edmonton (1-3) and away against Vegas (2-5), dropping to third place in the Pacific Division. Todd McLellan's team will almost certainly play with Edmonton in the first round of the playoffs for the second year. But Los Angeles has lost field advantage for now. Los Angeles will surely try to regain their position in the remaining games. However, given their three-point lead over the Oilers, their chances of success certainly aren't great.
Colorado
The Avalanche also made the playoffs, and so far, the reigning champion enters the postseason in first place in the Central Division. That means Jared Bednar's team could face Winnipeg or Calgary in the first round of the playoffs, which is much better than Minnesota and Dallas if Colorado moves to second or third place in the division.
In their previous two games, the Avalanche met with San Jose on the road and beat the Western Conference outsider both times, 4-3 in overtime and 6-2.
Expect Betting Tips
Colorado has failed both games to Los Angeles this season, which is undoubtedly extra motivation for the Avalanche in the upcoming match. So are their standings - it's unlikely Jared Bednar's team would want to lose first place in the division. We bet on the victory of the reigning champion, considering that the Kings recently somewhat slowed down and lost four of the last six games. In addition, we expect many goals, as it was in the previous three H2H meetings and nine games of Colorado.
