Betting on the Los Angeles Kings
Although a stretch of four losses in their last five games has somewhat dampened what had been a great season, the Kings remain at the top of their division; however, they must begin to return to their best level if they don’t want the Golden Knights to slip further away from the top of their division.
In each of their last four losses, the Kings allowed at least three goals, so it’s clear that’s what they need to improve on if they want to get out of their losing streak, especially considering they’ve been solid on offense with an average of 3.1 goals scored per game.
Their away defensive record is even more troubling, as they have allowed an average of 3.75 goals in that condition.This is clearly related to the low effectiveness of their goalkeepers, with both Cal Petersen and Jonathan Quick registering a save percentage of 0.875%.
Betting on the San Jose Sharks
For the Sharks, things have been very different, as they are currently in second-to-last place in their division, trailing only the Anaheim Ducks, who have the worst record in the NHL.
The main issue for the Sharks this season has been their poor performance at home, as they have only won two of the twelve games they have played there. As a result, they have the worst home record in the league, as the Coyotes only have one victory despite only having played four home games this season.
If there’s anything that could give the Sharks hope of a good result here, it is their favorable recent record against the Kings., including at home, where they have only lost once in their last six games.For this purpose, though, they will have to improve the performance of a defense that has allowed a dismal 3.58 goals-against average at home so far this season.
JefeBet Prediction
Even though the Kings have had considerably better outcomes, they have performed about as well as the Sharks have, as both teams have been strong in front of the net but have had a poor performance on their own side of the rink.
In the last two clashes between these teams the Under has been covered, however; this seems to be a very complicated trend to follow this time considering the defensive weaknesses of both teams, in addition to the fact that in seven of the last ten games the Sharks have played, they have covered the Over..
This time, we anticipate that both offenses will keep up their good pace and take advantage of two weak defenses and unimpressing goalkeepers, resulting in an entertaining game with lots of goals.
Prediction: Over (LA 4 – SJ 3).
