Preview

The Coloado Avalanche travel to Los Angeles to take on the Kings in Tuesday night.  This is the second time these teams face off this season, the Avs won the last time 4-1 in L.A.

COLORADO AVALANCHE

Colorado have lost 3 of their last 5 games and are 18-12 on the road so far this season. They have 42-13-5 overall record ranking first in the Central. 

Nazem Kadri has 73 total points while scoring 22 goals and totaling 51 assists for the Avalanche. Cale Makar has 11 assists over the last 10 games for Colorado.

The Avalanche are 6-4 in their last 10 games, averaging 3.4 goals, 6.2 assists, 3.7 penalties and 9.1 penalty minutes while giving up 2.5 goals per game with a .930 save percentage.

LOS ANGELES KINGS 

The Kings have won 3 of their last 5 games and are 15-15 at home this season ranking 2nd in the Pacific. They're coming from a 3-2 win against the Panthers at home.

Anze Kopitar leads the Kings with 36 assists and has 51 points this season. Trevor Moore has three goals and five assists over the last 10 games for Los Angeles.

Kings are 6-4, averaging 2.7 goals, 3.6 assists, 3.6 penalties and 7.5 penalty minutes while giving up 3 goals per game with an .899 save percentage.

BETTING TRENDS

Colorado are 7-0 SU in their last 7 games against Los Angeles.

Colorado are 13-17 ATS on the road.

Los Angeles are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Los Angeles' last 5 games.

Prediction

The Avalanche are the better team and they have dominated the Kings but they have struggled to cover the spread on the road. This should be a close game and I think the under is the play. The under has cashed in 6 of Colorado's last 7 games when playing on the road against Los Angeles.

PICK: Under 6 (+105)
