Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings: The Kings pick up crucial victory

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings match, which will take place on April 20. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Anaheim Ducks

Anaheim has been an NHL underdog for the last few years. Their regular season debut was good, with the Ducks claiming a playoff spot for a long time, but they couldn't keep up this pace to the end of the season. In their last 19 meetings, they only managed three wins and 16 losses, which dropped them to 12th place in the Western Conference standings.

Los Angeles Kings

Los Angeles, along with two other California teams, has been among the NHL's underdogs for the past few years, but this time they have also improved. The only difference between San Jose and Anaheim is that the Kings are still in a playoff battle and have a good chance of making the Cup battle. Todd McLellan's men have lost four of their previous six meetings, while winning two. At the moment, they remain in eighth place in the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Anaheim and Los Angeles are geographic neighbours who have also been neighbours for a long time in the standings, but then the Ducks suffered a severe slump, losing 16 of their last 19 games, while the Kings continue their battle to make the playoffs. It's unacceptable for the Black and White to lose points against a league underdog at this point. That's why it's worth betting on a Los Angeles win for 1.998.

We shouldn't expect a goal-scoring extravaganza against the two Californian teams. Right now Anaheim is in the mood to finish the season and the last thing they want is to play some spectacular hockey. An open, productive hockey is even less of an issue for the Los Angeles club as they continue their fight to make the playoffs. With this in mind, we suggest betting on a total under 5.5 for 1.82.

Viktor Arvidsson is having his debut season for Los Angeles. After seven years with Nashville, the Swedish forward moved to California, where he immediately showed his skills. In the current regular season, he scored 46 points (20 goals + 26 assists) in 62 games. Now the experienced hockey player is in good form, so it is worth to look at the bet on Viktor Arvidsson total over 0.5 for 1.71.
