LiontipsLos Angeles vs San Jose. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 12, 2023).
Command Analysis
Los Angeles won three of their last four games. They lost to the leaders of the Eastern Conference Boston (2:5), but did really well against other difficult opponents. For instance, they crushed Vegas (5:1) - forward Fiala scored a hat-trick. Back at home, the Kings confidently defeated Edmonton (6:3), and Fiala had another great game, scoring four points. The former Minnesota player has become the top scorer for the Kings (46 points).
San Jose rarely earn points - in the last ten games, the Sharks only managed two victories, over Minnesota and Chicago, with the same score of 5:2. They were close to defeating Ahaneim, too, but eventually yielded in overtime (4:5 OT). San Jose are too unreliable on defense, which is one of the main reasons they struggle.
