LiontipsLos Angeles Kings - Seattle Kraken: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Los Angeles is on the fifth line of the Western Conference and probably still wants to improve its position in the standings. He really has this opportunity, because even from the fourth position the club is separated by literally one point, so it will be very important for him to hold the final matches of the regular season at the proper level and earn the maximum number of points.
Moreover, now the kings are in great shape and are going to a series of four victories. Let's remind that before that, they managed to deal with San Jose (8:4), Winnipeg (4:1) on the home arena, and after a 4:2 away victory over Utah, they returned home again, where they dealt with Edmonton with a score of 3.:0. In the confrontation with the Oilers, Darcy Kemper played great on goal, who managed to parry all 27 shots that day.
As a rule, there are no serious defensive problems when Jim Hiller's team plays on its own ice, and usually there are no more than two goals in the net. In addition, Los Angeles managed to score as many as 25 victories during regular time with the support of its home stands, which is a powerful indicator.

Current form
Seattle has long since given up its chances of making the playoffs. The team is even now in the 12th position of the Western Conference and has only 72 points in its asset. She completely and completely failed this season and only occasionally gave out single successful duels. Oddly enough, the club has been successful in three of the previous five meetings.
So, on his ice, Kraken literally defeated Edmonton (6:1), and after two defeats from Dallas (1:5 and 1:3), he pulled himself together and beat Vancouver (5:0) on the road, and also had a great final meeting against San Jose, in which he celebrated Victoria with a score of 5:1. Both in the match with the Canucks and in the meeting with the Sharks, Joey Duckord played great on goal, who parried more than 45 shots in total.
However, in matches with the leaders, Dan Bylsma's team often has problems playing defensively, so on average there are three goals in his net. The most unsuccessful in his performance remains the first segment, in which he has a 61:87 ratio in goals scored and conceded.

2.00Tip and bets
Los Angeles is obligated to earn two points in this confrontation. The Kings can still improve their position in the standings a bit and should take this chance. Seattle plays rather poorly on the road and is often inferior in regular time in matches against opponents in the playoff zone. By the way, previous meetings at the Crypto com arena also ended in favor of the kings. Based on this, we suggest betting on their success.
Prediction - Los Angeles wins in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Seattle is characterized by mediocre performance on the road and in many meetings remains with less than three abandoned goals in the asset. Los Angeles, on the other hand, plays great defense at home and usually does not allow opponents to score more than two goals. It is likely that this time the guests will not be able to distinguish themselves three times.
We're betting on Seattle's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.55
Bet on the total total
The last matches with the participation of the home team were quite low-level and ended with less than six goals scored. Seattle also finished the last two out of three matches with five or fewer goals scored. The kings will certainly not allow their opponent to play on opposite courses in the upcoming confrontation and, most likely, will try to win the class in order to save strength for more powerful teams.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.85
