LiontipsLos Angeles vs Minnesota. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (November 9, 2022).
Command Analysis
Los Angeles played three games away from home before coming back to their arena. On their road trip, the Kings suffered a defeat to Dallas (2:5) and yielded to Chicago in overtime (1:2 OT). At home, the Kings sought redemption for those poor results and managed to get a narow victory over Florida (5:4). Arvidsson and Moore were both great, each scored a goal and gave two assists.
Minnesota seemed to have found their team form, but in the last game, the Wild were crushed by Seattle at home (0:4). Goalie Fleury had an utterly disappointing performance; he saved only 82% of the shots he faced. The attack was no better - Minnesota delivered only 22 shots on goal, which is uncharacteristic of them. Before that, the Wild celebrated success over Chicago (4:3 SO) and Montreal (4:1).
