Kings vs. Canadiens Key Stats

Los Angeles' offense has performed well with contributions from Gabriel Vilardi especially having made a big impact. They would like to improve their numbers going forward.

Their defense has let them down with goaltenders having failed to register their efforts. They have conceded around 3.5 goals per game this season and have to work a lot for a better defensive setup in the coming games.

Montreal's offense hasn't managed to score goals consistently this season. They have been dependent on Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield for scoring bulk of their goals and have lacked contributions from the rest of the team. They will need more from the players going forward for improved scoring in the upcoming games.

Montreal's defense has further let them down and has been one of the reasons for their failure this season. Conceding over 3.5 goals per game has caused many problems and they severely need changes to get better for the upcoming games.

Kings vs. Canadiens Betting Prediction

Los Angeles, though, have played well, but their inconsistency is a big concern coming into the game. They are 3-7 in their last 10 overall but can take inspiration from the fact that they are 5-2 in their last seven meetings.

Meanwhile, Montreal have failed to make most of the home conditions and have struggled in games after playing with a three-day rest.

The result is likely to be decided on the basis of fine margins. Better offensive strength gives Los Angeles an edge in this game and we can expect them to cover the spread.

Prediction: Take, Los Angeles, ML(-155)
