Kings vs Canucks Key Stats
Los Angeles have played great on offense, having scored 63 goals in 19 games, averaging more than three goals per game. They are a complete team, with eight players having over 10 goal involvements each so far this season.
Their defensive performance is exactly the opposite as they have conceded 63 goals in 19 games. They have conceded 30 shots per game, making the goaltender's job difficult, which puts them at a disadvantage going into the game.
Vancouver have done well on offense and maintained an average of over three goals scored per game so far this season. The partnership between Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat has been crucial with over 20 goal contributions each. The team will look to get similar performances from them in this game too.
They lack proper defensive organization and have failed to keep it tight at the back. The defense has faced more than 560 shots in 17 games and has conceded 69 goals. This needs to be addressed going forward this season.
Kings vs Canucks Betting Prediction
Coming into the game, Los Angeles are in better shape with 5-1 in their last six games overall. They have also won nine of their last 11 games after allowing two goals or less in their previous game and are 4-1 in their last five games, playing on a day's rest.
Vancouver are 10-2 in their last 12 games after having two days' rest and are 7-3 in their last 10 against the Pacific. But they have lost 13 times in their last 18 games overall.
With the inconsistency creeping in, Vancouver are unlikely to make the most of their home advantage, giving Los Angeles a better chance of getting another win.
