The Vancouver Canucks and the Los Angeles Kings meet in NHL action from the Crypto.com Arena on Monday night. Let’s dive into the odds, matchup history and make a prediction for this game.
Odds
Los Angeles is a -195 home favorite while Vancouver is a +165 road underdog. The total for this game is set at 6.5 goals.
Matchup History
Los Angeles’ 4-1 win back on April 2nd, 2023, snapped Vancouver’s three-game head-to-head win streak in this matchup.
Trends
Vancouver is 8-3 in their last 11 games following a win and 4-1 in their last 5 road games while the over is 6-0-1 in their last 7 Monday games. Los Angeles is 11-4 in their last 15 home games and 2-5 in their last 7 games overall while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games against the Pacific division.
Pick
I’m rolling with the under here. Despite Vancouver’s shortcomings this season, they’ve been decent defensively as of late and have found themselves in low-scoring games over the last week. On the other side, the Kings defensively have been solid over the last month or so, and head-to-head, these two have played to seven straight unders. I think we make it eight here. Give me the under.
