Los Angeles has returned to the fight for the leading position in the division, but so far it is only in seventh place in the conference. The Kings have scored 77 points in 63 games and are one point behind Edmonton, which has played one more game. The hosts returned from the break and did not show the best quality of the game, but they improved with the beginning of spring. The Kings beat Vegas in Nevada (6:5), and then came to California and confidently dealt with the Islanders (4:1), putting the squeeze on the opponent in the second half of the confrontation.
The Californians started to improve in terms of chances and scored ten goals in the last two games. On average, Jim Hiller's players score 2.87 goals per match per season, while scoring 3.32 times at home. Adrian Kempe broke into the team's lead in the number of points scored.

1.50Tip and bets
Washington remains the strongest team in the conference and in the league as a whole. The Capitals didn't end the winter well, but now they're back in great shape and winning regularly. Los Angeles is coming to its senses, but the hosts still have problems both defensively and offensively. Yes, the kings will definitely not become whipping boys, but it will be incredibly difficult for them to beat the Washiks. In December, a team led by Spencer Carbury dealt with the Kings at home. We think that the capital's hockey players will be better now.
Our betting tip is that Washington will win with an Asian handicap (0) in 2.05
Betting on an individual total
Washington scores more than other teams in the league and has an average of 3.68 goals per game. Los Angeles has slowed down in terms of reliability on its half of the ice and has often made mistakes on defense lately. In winter, Alexander Ovechkin's squad scored three goals against the Kings. We believe that even now she will be able to hit the Kings' goal at least three times.
Betting Tip - Washington's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.78
Bet on the total
Los Angeles has added in attack this stretch of the season and has been good at creating chances in recent games. Washington always plays great up front and very rarely leaves the ice without a lot of dropped goals. We are waiting for hockey on the opposite courses, which should turn into a shootout. We suggest that you place a bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.83
