In a matchup of the last two Western Conference teams to win the Stanley Cup, the Los Angeles Kings will host the Chicago Blackhawks as LA goes for its fifth straight win. For the ‘Hawks, this will be their second game in as many days but that hasn’t seemed to slow them down in the past.
- The Blackhawks are 8-2 in their last 10 games on the second night of a back-to-back.
- 6 of the last 8 matchups between these teams played at the Staples Center have gone OVER.
- The Kings are 5-0 on the puckline in their last 5 games at home.
LA has gone 8-2 at home this year and it would seem they have the advantage in almost every category tonight as Chicago has gone a pedestrian 6-5 on the road. The only stat throwing me off is ‘Hawks record on the second half of back-to-backs and this one is feeling like a stay-away for moneyline bettors.
The total tonight will likely close at five and that’s been good for OVER bettors in Kings’ games. LA has allowed at least two goals in eight straight games and they’re averaging just under four goals scored for during their current winning streak.
Additionally, the Blackhawks have scored an average of 4.75 goals in the second game of their back-to-backs this season and the goaltender they will face tonight has a career .898 save percentage against them.
