Winnipeg vs Los Angeles: prediction for the NHL game
The Jets and the Kings go against each other in the National Hockey League on Saturday evening. Who will get the upper hand in this game? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaWinnipeg are losing just four points to Vegas in 8th place and have a game in hand over them, which gives the team a decent chance to snatch a last-minute ticket to the playoffs. Before losing to Totronto (3:7), the Jets were on a winning streak - they beat Columbus (4:3 ОТ), Arizona (2:1 ОТ) and Buffalo (3:2 SO).
The Jets show good performance in home games and average over three goals per game. However, they aren't very confident at defending against power play - the team neutralizes only 74,8% of opponents' chances.
Los Angeles Kings
USALos Angeles are currently 5th in the West and will probably finish in the top-8 with no difficulties, which was the main objective for the Kings this season. But recently the team has been a bit inconsistent.
The Kings suffered a crushing defeat to Seattle (1:6), and after losing to Edmonton on penalties (3:4 SO), they prevailed over Calgary (3:2 SO). The team often clinches points away from home and has lost only nine away games in regulation. Todd McLellan's side shows its weakest performance in first periods, when the team almost never scores.
