Red Wings vs Kings Key Stats
Detroit have averaged more than 2.5 goals scored per game this season. Both Dylan Larkin and Dominik Kubalik have done a fantastic job and have 16 goal involvements each and will play a crucial role in the upcoming game too.
Their defense has failed to live up to the requirements, conceding more than 3 goals per game on average. The goaltenders were on the receiving end and had to face 470 shots, averaging 33.5 shots per game. They have done well and maintained a healthy save percentage of 0.904 but it is not enough in the competitive sphere.
Los Angeles have scored 51 goals in 16 games, averaging more than three goals per game. They have had multiple players involved in attack with over 13 goal involvements each.
The defense of the team has been one of the poorest in the league with 54 goals conceded in 16 games. They have conceded 38 shots per game, making it difficult for goaltenders to do their job perfectly. Although the goaltenders have done well individually, they lack the defensive strength to lower the deficit of loss.
Red Wings vs Kings Betting Prediction
Detroit have not played well this season and are 33-70 in their last 103 games, playing on 1 day's rest, making things more difficult for them. They are 3-8 in their previous 11 games against Pacific.
Los Angeles are 4-0 in their last 4 home games and are 8-2 in their last 10 after allowing 2 goals or fewer in their previous game. They are the favorites to win this game too.
