LiontipsLos Angeles Kings vs Anaheim Ducks. Predictions and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Los Angeles are showing mediocre results. The Kings really need a win after losing six of their last eight games. The only two victories were over Arizona (4:3) and San Jose (4:2). In return matches with those same clubs, the Kings suffered devastating defeats. Also, Todd McLellan's charges lost two home games to Vegas (2:4 and 2:6). Goalie Quick was particularly bad and had to be replaced in the first period after he conceded another goal.
The home ice does not seem to aid the Kings to earn points in any way, they have only one victory in six matches.
Anaheim has been playing most of their games at home lately, where they have been absolutely horrendous. The losing streak reached seven matches, and only in one of them the Ducks could snatch a point, losing to Arizona in overtime (2:3 OT). The rest of their games have ended in crushing defeats.
The Ducks have been much better away, with only one loss to Colorado in six games (2:5). The team's defenders failed to do their job, allowing the opponent to create too many dangerous moments. Anaheim remains at the bottom of the standings with 35 points.
