Command Analysis
Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles gained excellent form at the end of the regular season and has not lost for four consecutive matches, all of which ended in regular time. The series of successful results began on the home arena, where the Kings left no chance for Anaheim (6:1), and then snatched away heavy Victoria from Colorado with a score of 5:4. Goalkeeper Kemper did not perform well in the duel with the Avalanche, but the attacking line was able to compensate for the mistakes, and in particular, it is worth praising the forwards Byfield and Laferrier, who scored three assists each.
The team was able to consolidate its success away from Edmonton, where it again defeated its competitor dry (5:0). This time, Kemper scored a goal and provided two assists. The Kings also won the fourth victory in the match with Seattle due to the excellent execution of attacking chances (6:5). Overall, this season has been very successful for Los Angeles. At the moment, the club is on the fourth line in the Western Conference table and has every chance to rise even higher.

Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary has also been pleasing fans with successful results lately, and the winning streak has reached three matches in a row. The team played at home, where they defeated Minnesota in the first match (4:2). By the middle of the second period, the Flames had a three-goal advantage and did not let the victory slip out of their hands. Next, the team fought with San Jose and left no chance for its competitor, confidently beating the obvious outsider (5:2). It is difficult to single out any of the players, as almost all have distinguished themselves.
It was much more difficult to achieve the third victory, as we had to fight one of the strongest clubs in the Western Conference, Vegas. Everything was heading for defeat, but in the third period, the lights unexpectedly made a comeback, scoring three goals and eventually winning the shootout (5:4). However, all these victories did not help the club to get a ticket to the Stanley Cup. Literally one victory was not enough for the team, so the upcoming match will be his last this season.

1.50Tip and bets
It's not so easy to determine the winner in the upcoming match, because both teams are in great shape. However, it should be borne in mind that the upcoming match does not matter to Calgary, since the club has already been left without a playoff, which cannot be said about Los Angeles. Two more points scored will allow the Kings to rise one place higher in the Western Conference table, which, in turn, will allow them to enter a less serious competitor. So we suggest betting in favor of motivated Kings.
Our betting tip is a Los Angeles victory in 2.12
Bet on the total
Both teams have recently been very active and, most importantly, effective in attack. We believe that in the final match of the regular season, the clubs will not sit on the defensive and will delight the fans with active hockey, which will lead to a large number of abandoned goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.93
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Los Angeles surpasses its opponent in all respects and should create pressure on Calgary from the very first minutes. The home walls will help the Kings earn an advantage at the end of the kickoff, which is what we suggest betting on.
Prediction - Los Angeles wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.68
