Command Analysis
Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles dropped to sixth place in the Western Conference standings due to poor results in November. Anze Kopitar team lost three of the four games they had played previously and was left with 23 points after 20 starts. The Kings did not have the best last road trip and lost to the local Calgary (1:3) in Alberta, Canada, and then left Denver with nothing, losing to Colorado (2:4). After returning home, the team coached by Jim Hiller confidently beat Detroit (4:1), but a few days later they could not cope with Buffalo and suffered a narrow defeat (0:1). The game was approximately equal, but the visitors were able to take advantage of a rule violation and scored the decisive goal in the majority.
The California club has slowed down in attack and has managed to score only 12 accurate shots in the last five games. The Kings have scored more than two goals only twice in the previous six games and they managed to win those games. The team leading scorer remains its captain. Slovenian forward Anze Kopitar has scored 21 points (5+16) in the goal+pass system.
The hosts are trying to earn points thanks to a solid defensive game. On average, the Californians allow only 2.8 goals per game this season, while at home this figure is 2.38 goals per game. David Rittich has recently found himself in the starting lineup. The Czech goalie has blocked 90.15% of shots in his possession, but has not made a single shutout in 11 games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Drew Doughty, Darcy Kuemper, Caleb Jones and Artur Kaliyev will not help their team in the match against Seattle.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Los Angeles takes at least 29 shots per game.
The Kings are targeting the opposing goal, but they prefer to play the puck until it right.
- Statistically, the Kings receive 9.6 minutes of penalty time.
Los Angeles is not known for its good discipline and usually gets sent off at least five times per game
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle was in terrible shape the entire second half of October, but now the Kraken are in great shape and have soared up the standings. The club from Washington State has won five of the previous six games and moved up to tenth place in the West. The visitors have earned 21 points in 20 games and are just one point behind Edmonton, which is in eighth place. Dan Bylsma men have been playing at home for a long time and that is where they earned ten points in six games. The hosts won against Vegas (4:3, OT), Columbus (5:2), Chicago (3:1), Islanders (3:2), but then lost to the Rangers (0:2). This defeat did not break the Dark Blues and they finished the series of games at home with a dry victory over Nashville (3:0). The Preds were worse than their opponents and shot less, so there is no point in talking about luck here.
Seattle captain Jordan Eberle is in the infirmary, but this does not prevent his teammates from winning. In the last five games, the Krakens have conceded only seven goals, two of which were from the Cops. Joey Daccord is in excellent shape. In the last game, he made his first shutout this season and now he is unlikely to give up his place to the famous Philipp Grubauer, who has just recovered from an injury.
Jared McCann has scored points in five of his last seven games, but has failed to contribute to the team goals in his last two starts. The Canadian is 25th in the league scoring list with 21 points (9 goals, 12 assists).
Disqualifications and injuries
Vince Dunn and Jordan Eberle did not travel with the team on the road to California.
Interesting trends for betting
- Seattle is taking 27 shots on goal per game.
The Krakens rarely shoot and try to play the puck to the right place, so they have excellent indicators for the realization of moments - 10.6%.
- The Kraken win 48.1% of faceoffs
The visitors look poor at the point and don't win the puck for their teammates very often.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In three of Seattle last four games, the first period has been scoreless.
1.85Bet 3rd period: Seattle will not lose
Seattle hasn't lost to Los Angeles in the third period in three straight games
1.55Tip and bets
Los Angeles has lost its former form and is clearly out of sorts right now. The team from California scores little and wins only when it manages to beat the opponents' goalies at least three times. Seattle played excellently on home ice and it is unlikely that the Krakens will fail on the ice of the Crypto.com Arena and will not be able to put up a fight. Yes, the visitors were left without their captain, but Dan Bylsma charges played quite reliably even without Jordan Eberle. We believe that the Dark Blues will be able to maintain a small positive handicap. We suggest betting on the team from Washington State.
Prediction - Seattle win with Asian handicap (+1) for 1.65
Bet on individual total
Los Angeles is scoring 3.05 goals per game this fall, but in the last five games the Kings have only made 12 accurate shots. Jim Hiller men easily dealt with the Detroit and Columbus defense, but it will be much more difficult to beat the Krakens. The visitors are in excellent shape now and are unlikely to allow the Kings to easily send a projectile into their net.
We take the individual total of Los Angeles less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.75
Total Bet
The Kings prefer to play defensively, especially on the ice of the Crypto.com arena. Seattle can hardly be called an attacking team; Jordan Eberle squad does not like to concede, but does not score much either. In the last four games between the opponents, only one scoring result was recorded. Let play a bet on the total under goals.
We bet on a total of less than six goals with a coefficient of 1.55
