Los Angeles - Winnipeg: NHL match betting tip
Los Angeles continues its home series of games and will play at home against Winnipeg on April 2. The Jets are confidently leading the conference, but they are being squeezed by Dallas, who really wants to finish the regular season on the first line. The Kings can still reach Vegas, the leader in the Pacific Division. The Kings have gained excellent form after the recession and may rise higher in the very near future. Will it work? This is stated in the betting tip for the match

Command Analysis

Los Angeles Kings

Current form
Los Angeles started the spring very poorly and lost a lot, but it pulled itself together in time and increased. The California State team is currently in fifth place in the conference, with 91 points in its piggy bank after 73 matches. The Kings are in third place in the Pacific Division table and can still compete for the first position with Vegas, which scored seven points more. After returning home, the Kings lost to Toronto (1:3), but the very next day they did not leave a single chance to San Jose (8:1).
In the second half of March, Jim Hiller's team played great defense, although they had some pretty bad games. In the last six starts, the California State team has scored 26 times, and Adrian Kempe retains the role of the club's top scorer (31+29). Ange Kopitar scored the same 60 points (18+42), but the captain gives assists much more often than he scores himself.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the home team leaders will play against the Jets. The condition of Alex Tarcott, Tanner Janot and Alex Laferrier is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Los Angeles allows opponents to throw only 25 times on average per match.
- Kings block 15 shots on average per game

Winnipeg Jets

Current form
Winnipeg has been at the top of the Western table for a very long time and does not intend to give up leadership in the conference and the Central Division. The guests have 106 points after 74 games, while Dallas, who is second, scored only four points less and really want to finish the season as the first club. The team led by Scott Arniel is having a great season and is in great shape even now. The Jets have lost only three times since the beginning of March, winning nine matches in that time.
The Manitoba Provincial club's defense remains the most reliable in the league. Winnipeg concedes only 2.34 goals per game and very rarely allows its opponents to enter the zone calmly. Connor Hellebuyck is still the strongest goalkeeper in the league. The American made 92.55% of saves and scored seven shutouts in 57 starts. Eric Comrie has almost no chance of becoming the first number of the team.
Disqualifications and injuries
Neil Pionk and Gabriel Vilardi will not be able to help their teammates in the match against the Kings. Rasmus Kurari's condition is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Winnipeg Wins 49.2% of face-offs this Season
- The Jets earn 7.49 minutes of penalty time per match.

In the last three out of four games with Los Angeles, the first period was not productive.
1.73The 3rd periodrate: Los Angeles will score
The Kings scored in the third period in 7 of 11 games.
1.53Tip and bets
Los Angeles broke its short streak of defeats and scored another crushing victory over a team from the bottom of the league table. The Kings do a great job against not the strongest clubs, but they have big problems in games against the leaders. Winnipeg is one of those bands that is very difficult for everyone to play with. The team from the province of Manitoba is in great shape and has tournament motivation. We believe in the guests and we offer a bet on their victory with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that Winnipeg will win with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.98
Betting on an individual total
The Kings played great offensively in the second half of March, but in matches against clubs from the playoff zone they constantly had problems in terms of implementation. Winnipeg remains the most reliable team in the league and very rarely concedes even more than two goals per game. We believe that the hosts will not be able to beat Connor Hellebuyck more than twice during the meeting.
Prediction - Los Angeles' individual total is less than 2.5 goals in 1.85
Bet on the total
Both teams play indoor hockey and like to act defensively. The Kings have scored a lot in recent games, but it's going to be very difficult for them now. Winnipeg rarely trashes its opponents and prevents them from shooting at the goal. We think that the meeting in California will not be bright. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.67
