The Kings do it tough on the road and taking into account that they have played just 19 games at Crypto.com Arena they have had an impressive season sitting in third in the Pacific division.

At home they have lost just 4 matches this season and that figure will stay the same after beating Montreal who are 12-13-1 on the road this year. The Canadiens will play their third game in 4 days on the West Coast which sets up the perfect opponent for the Kings who are desperate to string wins together after going 1-4-0 on their own recent road trip. 

Crypto is a fortress for the Kings, especially defensively where they average just 1.53 goals against. Expect them to shut down the Candiens and run away with this match covering the puck line.

  • Los Angeles has won their past 7 matches against Montreal and covered the puck line in 5 of the past 7.
  • Montreal has scored just 1 goal in its past three games against Los Angeles
  • Los Angeles are 15-3-1 at home this season
  • The Kings concede an average of 1.53 goals against on home ice this season.
