Command Analysis

Anaheim Ducks

Current form
Anaheim still broke its winning streak, which reached three games. The team played at home, where they met Buffalo and were one step away from another victory, but could not hold on to a significant advantage and suffered a defeat in overtime (2:3). Once again, there were problems with creating moments in attack, and in total they managed to make 24 shots on the opponent goal. Continuing to play at home, the Ducks fought Seattle and this time they could not even cling to one point, losing in regulation time with a score of 2:3.
Oddly enough, the team was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans for the lost points on the road to the Krakens, defeating them with a score of 5:2, which was a surprise for many, since Anaheim remains one of the least productive clubs in the league. It is difficult to even single out any of the forwards, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions. It is impossible not to praise goalkeeper Gibson, who reflected 42 shots out of 44. Thanks to the points earned, the Ducks were able to rise from the last line in the Western Conference standings and are currently in 12th place, and the gap from the playoff zone is only four points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Anaheim continues to have huge problems with its roster. The club has four players in the infirmary: Fabbri, Fowler, McGinn and Susanek. Vaakanainen and Karlsson are also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Anaheim scores 2.6 goals per game.
The Ducks have had serious problems on offense this season and have rarely realized their offensive potential.
- On average, the Ducks receive seven penalty minutes per game.
But the team has complete discipline, it rarely breaks the rules, which allows it to remain at full strength throughout almost the entire match.

Los Angeles Kings

Current form
Los Angeles has been showing unstable results for a long time, alternating victories with defeats. The team completed a home series of three games, which ultimately turned out to be successful. The Kings suffered only one defeat from Buffalo (0:1), as they were unable to realize their attacking potential at all. In the remaining matches, they managed to achieve the desired results due to a very reliable game in defense, thanks to which the club beat Seattle (2:1), and also crushed Detroit with a score of 4:1. Remarkably, in both meetings, the opponents made a total of only 38 shots on target.
After such a solid defensive performance, few could have expected a crushing defeat from the obvious underdog, San Jose (2:7). Goalie Rittich showed a terrible game, reflecting only 66% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, Hiller charges were able to rehabilitate themselves before the fans, defeating one of the league leaders, Winnipeg, and very confidently with a score of 4:1. This time, forward Kempe and Rittich showed themselves, each scoring two points. In general, the "kings" have shown excellent results this season and currently occupy the fifth line in the table, having 27 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Los Angeles is also experiencing problems with its roster. The team is without four players due to injuries. Doughty, Kuemper, Jones and Kaliyev will definitely not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the Kings allow 2.8 goals per game.
The team has been showing very reliable defensive play this season, which is why they are achieving success.
- Los Angeles averages 10 penalty minutes per game

1.66Tip and bets
Anaheim is a clear underdog in the upcoming match, for several reasons. Firstly, the team continues to show inconsistent results and does not always achieve success even at home. Secondly, Los Angeles is significantly superior to its competitor in terms of both roster and play this season, which means it has every chance of success. It is also worth paying attention to face-to-face meetings, in which the Kings consistently achieve success. We believe that the Kings will once again show their potential and win in regular time, which is what we suggest betting on.
Our prediction is a Los Angeles win at 1.88
Bet on total
It is still not worth expecting a large number of goals scored in the upcoming match. Both teams have serious problems with both creating and implementing moments in attack, which is especially true for Anaheim. One cannot ignore the very strong play of Los Angeles in defense.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.65
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to its significant advantage over its opponent, Los Angeles has every chance to create serious pressure on Anaheim from the first minutes of the match. Due to this, the Kings can earn an advantage already at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Los Angeles win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.60
