Chicago are tipped to cover the puckline as an underdog on the road.
Despite a string of losses the Blackhawks have repeatedly covered the line in recent weeks, while Los Angeles’ home form makes for ugly reading.
- Chicago Blackhawks have covered in 12 of their last 13 games as an underdog
- Los Angeles Kings have lost 8 of their previous 11 home games this season
- The Under cashed when the two teams last met on October 26
Head To Head
- Chicago Blackhawks lead the all-time series 110-91-29
- Los Angeles Kings won 3-1 when the two teams last met on October 26
Chicago Blackhawks Form
Chicago head to Los Angeles on the back of their sixth defeat in their last seven games.
The Blackhawks enjoyed a good run during the first few weeks of November as they won five times in a six-game spell, but they cooled off in the second half of the month.
A 3-2 home defeat to Seattle proved to be the start of a five-game slide that saw them lose 9-3 in Buffalo, before returning home for three more defeats.
Chicago lost 1-0 to Colorado, 4-3 in overtime to Minnesota, and 4-3 to Nashville, before finally stopping the rot with a 5-3 win against Anaheim.
The Blackhawks’ joy was short-lived though, as they dropped a shootout to Vegas, 4-3, last time out.
Los Angeles Kings Form
Los Angeles enter this matchup on a disappointing run of form, having now lost five of their last seven games.
The Kings embarked on a four-game win streak in the middle of November, only to cool off and lose the next three.
They were beaten 2-1 by Washington and 4-3 by San Jose on the road, before returning home for a 2-1 overtime defeat at the hands of Boston.
Los Angeles avoided a fourth straight loss as they beat Ottawa 2-1 at home, but they failed to back that up as they dropped a shootout in Anaheim, 5-4.
The Kings rebounded with a 2-1 overtime victory against Vancouver, only to then lose 3-1 when they entertained Washington.
Verdict
Chicago have been stacking up losses in recent weeks, but they have been covering consistently.
The Blackhawks are proving to be a stubborn team that does not go down without a fight, and these Kings have disappointed on the home ice, so give us the visitors with the +1.5.
