Kings vs Bruins Key Stats
Los Angeles' offense has been good this season with over 104 goals in 32 games. Gabriel Vilardi has done a great job with 13 goals to his name, but a decrease in goal scoring lately is concerning coming into this game. The team will need more players to join the party to balance their scoring outlay.
The defense has lost its shape to concede over 3.5 goals per game, which has hampered their winning run. The team will need the defensive line and goaltenders to give an edge to the future challenge.
Boston, meanwhile, have scored 108 points this season. David Pastrnak has been their star performer with 19 goals and 20 assists to his credit, and will look to continue giving his best in future games.
The defense is one of the best in the league, with just 2.11 goals conceded per game on average. Goaltender Linus Ullmark has played a significant role with a save percentage of 0.941 and has 17 wins to his credit coming into this game.
Kings vs Bruins Betting Prediction
This game is very much tilted towards Boston as they are playing at home and have a brilliant home run this season. They have been brilliant with 9 wins in 11 games against a team with a high goal-conceding record.
Whereas, Los Angeles have a poor record playing away, especially after a day's rest. There is a dip in their scoring form which further puts them under a lot of pressure against Boston.
All the stats and the current run give Boston an edge and are more likely to win this tie with good team performance.
Prediction: Take, Boston, -1.5(+105)
