Kings vs Ducks Prediction and Odds (Kings To Win Offensive Showcase)
By Joe Summers
The Los Angeles Kings have won five of their last six and hope to stay hot when they take on the Anaheim Ducks tonight at 7:00 PM PST.
Anaheim has won two in a row after dropping four straight and have beaten the Kings twice this year, albeit by just one goal in each game. Does the value lie with the Ducks to make it three straight or will the Kings get their revenge?

Kings vs Ducks Prediction and Pick
I'm thrilled to be getting the Kings at basically even money tonight. They lead the NHL in shot differential with 366 while the Ducks are at -194. Those shots are finally turning into goals for Los Angeles and they've scored at least three goals in seven of their past eight games.
The Ducks have been strong offensively of late as well but are terrible as an underdog, going just 13-23 on the year. I think they were a bit lucky to beat the Kings in those first two matchups and that's giving us value tonight.
Los Angeles is 6-2 in their last eight as a road favorite and has won five straight on the road overall. I'm taking them to make it six in a row but also believe the total is giving us tremendous value.
The over is 6-1 in the Kings' previous seven games and 9-2 in the Ducks' last 11, including hitting in each of their past five. In the three matchups between these teams this year, nine goals were scored twice and seven were scored in the other. These teams have been over machines and I'm shocked the total is only 5.5.
Pick: Kings -110 and over 5.5 (-120)
