Command Analysis
Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles has been in great shape for a long time, and the winning streak has reached four matches in a row. What is especially noteworthy is that all the meetings ended in regular time, and in two matches the Kings did not leave any chance to their competitors at all, defeating Carolina and Boston with a similar score of 7:2. Nevertheless, the series of successful performances was interrupted by a visit to Colorado, where there were huge problems with both creating and implementing attacking chances. Of the 22 shots, none reached the target and had to give up dry (0:4). Goalkeeper Rittich also did not perform well, reflecting only 84% of shots.
Returning to their home arena, the kings were unable to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans. The team hosted Toronto and put a lot of pressure on the Maple Leafs throughout the match, but the accuracy of the shots left much to be desired. As a result, it was not possible to break through the goalkeeper of the leaves, which led to a defeat (1:3). So far, the lost points have not affected Los Angeles' position in the Western Conference table. The club continues to be on the fifth line, with 89 points.

San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
San Jose ended its long eight-match home streak, which turned out to be far from the most successful. The team managed to win only three victories over not the most serious competitors. The Sharks wrested Victoria from a rival of their level, Chicago (4:2), and also coped with the troubled Boston (3:1), taking advantage of the terrible form of the bears. Many people were surprised by the match with Toronto, in which the sharks showed a very active and effective offensive game, which allowed them to gain the upper hand in the shootout (6:5). Striker Toffoli made a huge contribution to the success, scoring a double and giving an assist.
As expected, the team was unable to complete the home series with a successful result. The Sharks hosted the Rangers and were unable to re-realize their attacking potential, suffering a 1-0 defeat.:6. Goalkeeper Georgiev showed a terrible game, reflecting only 81% of shots. San Jose has failed another season in its career and currently occupies the last place in the Western Conference table, having earned only 49 points in 72 matches, which is the worst record in the league at the moment.

San Jose has serious roster issues. There are four players in the infirmary at once: Askarov, Couture, Rutta and Tran. Vlasic also remains in question.

It is hard to believe that San Jose is able to give a worthy rebuff to the clear favorite in the upcoming match. The team even had a hard time earning points at home, but mostly suffered defeats. Now, the Sharks will play on the road altogether, where it is even more difficult to prove themselves. Los Angeles has a great desire to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans and regain the lost points, so it will not underestimate konkurert and will show all its strength, which will defeat the sharks with a difference of more than one goal.
Our prediction is that Los Angeles will win with a handicap of (-1.5) goals in 1.73
Bet on the total
The main reason for San Jose's defeats remains its terrible defensive play. The team consistently allows its competitors to take full advantage of the attack, which Los Angeles is also able to take advantage of. Indeed, it is quite possible to expect effective hockey in the upcoming match, which is what we propose to bet on.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.79
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Los Angeles will feel its superiority over its opponent from the first minutes of the match and will begin to create powerful pressure on San Jose. The Sharks are unlikely to be able to contain such pressure and will allow the Kings to gain an advantage at the end of the opening stretch.
