On November 28, Canadian Winnipeg will continue its away series with a match against Los Angeles.

Command Analysis
Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles is in seventh place in the Western Conference standings with 25 points after 22 games. The team from California started the new season quite successfully, but is currently not in the best shape. Since November 8, Anze Kopitar team has lost five games out of seven, while at home the Kings were stronger than Detroit (4:1) and Seattle (2:1), but lost to Buffalo (2:1). Before the next home match, Jim Hiller charges suffered a crushing defeat from San Jose on the road (2:7), conceding seven times for the first time this season. The Kings even led in the score, but failed in the final 20 minutes and conceded five unanswered goals in the decisive period of the match.
The visitors were good defensively in early November, but have now lost some of their reliability. Los Angeles allowed seven goals in their last game, but the hosts had allowed only one goal each in three games in a row at home. David Rittich has supplanted Darcy Kuemper as the starting goalie, but the Czech goalie has stopped only 88.53% of shots this season and has seen his numbers drop significantly in the second half of the month.
Anze Kopitar continues to be the main star of the Californians. The Slovenian forward is having another strong season and can already boast 25 points (6+19) in the goal+pass system. Adrian Kempe is breathing down his neck, having participated in 21 successful attacks of the Kings (10+11) in this regular season and is the team best sniper to date.
Disqualifications and injuries
Drew Doughty, Darcy Kuemper, Caleb Jones and Artur Kaliyev will be out for their team game against Winnipeg.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Los Angeles takes at least 28 shots per game.
The Kings are targeting the opposing goal, but they prefer to play the puck until it right.
- Statistically, the Kings receive 9.55 minutes of penalty time.
Los Angeles is not known for its good discipline and usually gets sent off at least five times per game
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg continues to hold the lead in the West with 36 points after 22 starts. The team from Canada is not doing so well in the second half of November and has suffered three defeats in six previous matches. Mark Scheifele squad played the last away series of games with varying success and after a confident victory over Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania (4:1) was routed by Nashville in Tennessee (1:4). The Jets finished their away tour with a success in Minneapolis, beating the local Wild (4:1). Until the very end of regulation time, the Jets led by only one goal, but sharply added in the final ten minutes and scored twice against the Wild, putting an end to it.
Winnipeg defense has begun to make mistakes and the Canadians have allowed 14 goals in their last five games. Connor Hellebuyck remains the visitors' number one. The American goalie has stopped 92.90% of shots in his possession and has two shutouts in 17 games. His replacement, Eric Comrie, has not yet been able to compete with the famous goalie in terms of reliability.
Kyle Connor holds the role of the guests' top scorer with 27 (13+14) scoring actions. The captain of the "fighters" has come close (12+14) and could soon overtake the American forward in the number of points earned.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dylan Samberg and Logan Stanley won't be helping their partners in California.
Interesting trends for betting
- Winnipeg is 29-19 in goals scored and allowed in the second period.
The second period is the worst for the "fighters" in terms of reliability, but they score a lot themselves.
- The Jets are winning 49.2 percent of their 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 four of Winnipeg previous six games, the first period was scoreless.
1.90Bet 2nd period: Winnipeg to score
The Canadians have scored in the second period for four games in a row.
1.48Tip and bets
Los Angeles cannot boast of a strong game in the second half of November. The Kings score quite a bit, and in the last match the Kings also missed seven goals from a not very strong opponent. Winnipeg has not always been good lately either, but the Jets do not fail and beat even the strongest clubs in the league. Last season the Fighters beat the Californians twice, while Jim Hiller charges were able to catch only one meeting in Canada, but lost on their home ice. We think that this time the Canadians will be stronger.
Prediction - Winnipeg wins the match for 1.82
Bet on individual total
Winnipeg defense is one of the best in the league for good reason. On average, the Canadians allow only 2.36 goals per game this season, and it will be incredibly difficult for Los Angeles to score many with their closed style of hockey. We think that the visitors will withstand the pressure of their opponents and will not allow the "kings" to score three accurate hits on their goal.
We take the individual total of Los Angeles under 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.95
Total Bet
Teams prefer to act defensively, constantly keeping an eye on their possessions. Los Angeles plays the most closed hockey in California, but it cannot be said that the Canadians always rush forward and try to score as many goals as possible. We expect a rather boring game in terms of goals. Let bet on a total of less than six goals in regular time.
We bet on a total of less than six goals with a coefficient of 1.60
