NOTES
Regarding the late night left coaster....
Driving hard on this one with the best team in the league coming into LA After Kings Allow 5+ goals
Last season Kings were 3-13 After Allowing 5+ and the year before that they were 4-13.
At +1.5 they were just 9-7 last year in this role and 8-9 the year before
Playing Home After an Away game, Kings are just 7-12 in their past 19 chances with 11 of those staying within one goal.
But if we tighten that even further and grade their past 16 Home After Away when they scored 3+ in the away game, they're just 3-13 SU with an 8-8 vs +1.5
===
DETROIT meanwhile playing Away After Away is 16-6 going back to beginning of last season, with 12 of those 22 by 2+ goals
Also Wings, when playing After an OT game have beaten the -1.5 11 times in past 20 chances.
All in all, we've got a perhaps up and coming Kings team that is still a bottom third NHL club hosting the league's best in roles which show little argument in favor of the home team tonight
