• Los Angeles Kings have conceded in the first period in the last five games.

We think we should bet on pucks in this meeting. It's hard to pick a favorite - Washington will obviously want to recover in front of their fans after their loss to Ottawa, but Los Angeles also wants to improve after a 1:6 loss to Pittsburgh. The last four games against the visitors and two of the home team have been over. The opponents will surely please us with spectacular hockey here as well.
